DEVELOPING: Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats is expected to leave his position as early as this week, according to 2 people familiar with the matter.
According to multiple outlets, Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, is widely considered a favorite to be Coats' replacement following the congressman's sharp questioning of former special counsel Robert Mueller during his congressional testimony last week.Coats, a former Indiana senator, had not seen eye-to-eye with President Donald Trump on issues like Russian electoral interference and the president's past blasting of the intelligence community.
Ratcliffe, a staunch ally of the president from a deep-red district, won accolades among the president's allies for his questioning of Mueller, which included the lawmaker saying"nowhere does it say that [the special counsel was] to conclusively determine Donald Trump's innocence or that the special counsel report should determine whether or not to exonerate him."
