Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
An analyst on Wednesday described a significant moment at the Senate confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence nominee, Jay Clayton. CNN correspondent Brian Todd told CNN anchor Jake Tapper about Clayton's refusal to answer questions about who won the 2020 election and his response to former DNI Tulsi Gabbard at the FBI raids at the Fulton County election offices."They pressed him, Jake, on Tulsi Gabbard's visit to Georgia this past January that was just so controversial, widely reported," Todd said. "But in a pretty extraordinary exchange, Jay Clayton claimed to know little or nothing about that trip.""The first time you learned that Director Gabbard was present at that raid was in my office yesterday?" Ossoff asked. "It was the first time that, in my recollection, I've thought about it recently. Now, was I aware of it before?" Clayton said.Ossoff interjected, saying, "What?""Your answers lack credibility," Ossoff added.Warner pressed Clayton to respond."Now, if even if you weren't aware, in preparation for this hearing, I would have thought, 'Hey, we got to be ready for the Gabbard questions," Warner said.But Clayton disagreed."Look, I don't want to. It just wasn't something that was on my mind before the preparation for this hearing," Clayton said.
