President Donald Trump nominated Jay Clayton, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the next permanent director of national intelligence on Thursday. A veteran Trump administration official, Clayton is seen as a more conventional choice for the role compared to the president's earlier choice made last week.

President Trump announced his plans to nominate Jay Clayton as director of national intelligence. The choice comes as lawmakers refused to extend a key surveillance tool over stalled privacy concerns and questions about the qualifications of the interim intelligence chief. Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins reports.

President Donald Trump announced the nomination on social media amid pressure from Congress to name a permanent replacement for Tulsi Gabbard, who resigned last month.
