A new bill has been introduced by Senate Intelligence Vice Chair Mark Warner. The legislation aims to require Senate confirmation for acting directors of national intelligence. This move comes after controversy surrounding President Trump's pick for the position.
The bill would prevent the president from installing an acting director without Senate approval. Further details on the bill and its implications are available from KTSM 9 News, the local NBC affiliate in El Paso, Texas.
