AFPI Congratulates Jay Clayton on Confirmation as Director of National Intelligence

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) congratulates Jay Clayton on his confirmation yesterday as the Director of National Intelligence. His confirmation comes at a pivotal moment when decisive leadership, transparency, and accountability are more critical now than ever to America’s national security.

“The threats facing our Nation are greater than at any time in recent memory. Director Clayton’s proven commitment to law and order, combined with his steadfast dedication to protecting the American people, makes him the right leader for this critical role,” said Greg Sindelar, President and CEO of AFPI.

Clayton has a demonstrated record of confronting America’s adversaries. As U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, he indicted Nicolás Maduro, whose record of narcoterrorism and direct threats against the United States did not go unanswered. This action sent a clear message that protecting the Nation does not stop at our borders—it is a global concern.
