167
The US Senate chooses a new chief for the secret services. His name is Jay Clayton. He is 60 years old. He works before as a federal lawyer in New York. 51 senators vote for him. 47 senators vote against him. Most helpers come from the Republican Party. All Democrats vote against Clayton.

Jay Clayton now leads 18 secret services. This includes the FBI and the CIA. He follows Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard leaves her office for private reasons. Before that, there is a dispute about another candidate. Bill Pulte should take the office first. But many politicians reject him. Pulte has no experience with secret services.

Before the vote, there is a check in the Senate. There is much criticism of Jay Clayton. For a long time, he does not want to say: Joe Biden wins the 2020 election. Only at the end of the questioning does he admit this. Trump still claims: The election is stolen. Jay Clayton is very loyal to Donald Trump.
