Trump names Joseph Maguire acting spy chief after succession turmoil
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has named a retired Navy officer as his acting spy chief following a series shakeups and long-running tension between the president and his intelligence agencies.
"Admiral Maguire has a long and distinguished career in the military," Trump tweeted, noting that he retired from the Navy in 2010 as a vice admiral after a 36-year career."I have no doubt he will do a great job!"Trump had initially floated the name of Rep. John Ratcliffe to lead the office, but the Texas Republican withdrew his name after a series of stories raised questions about whether he had inflated his resume.
Some conservatives, meanwhile, called Gordon part of the intelligence establishment that has clashed with Trump. "President Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is seemingly incapable of hearing facts that contradict his own views," said Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
