If he's confirmed to be the next director of National Intelligence, one of Jay Clayton's roles will be to ensure that Americans are able to vote legally without roadblocks.

But during his confirmation hearing, Clayton repeatedly hesitated to say that there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election that could have changed its outcome.

Clayton said President Joe Biden was certified as the president of the United States, but he did not say he won the election back in 2020.

Senators, including Georgia's Democratic. Sen. Jon Ossoff, also pressed Clayton on recent controversial events. Earlier this year, former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was on the ground in Fulton County, Georgia, as FBI agents searched an election office.

with the top of the article being nearly as pathetic.

There's no "continued controversy" about the fucking 2020 election, other than baby-man Trump refusing to give up his delusions, and demanding that others kowtow to his petulance by refusing to ever admit that Biden won fair and square if they ever want a position in his regime.

As always, not your fault BRTS
