Sen. Chris Murphy on Monday dismissed Rep. John Ratcliffe , President Donald Trump’s nominee to become the next director of national intelligence, as a “television character” who is an “inappropriate choice” for the historically nonpartisan post.
The president on Sunday announced his plans to tap Ratcliffe to replace Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, who will step down on Aug. 15. The Texas congressman had reportedly been a top candidate for the role, and Trump last week praised his combative questioning of Robert Mueller during the former special counsel’s appearance on Capitol Hill.
