John Ratcliffe was sworn in as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence on May 26, replacing acting Director Richard Grenell.
Ratcliffe, a Republican who was confirmed by the Senate last week on a 49–44 party-line vote, had served the U.S. House’s 4th Congressional District in Texas before being named to the intelligence position. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) confirmed the swearing-in, which took place in Washington. Grenell swore Ratcliffe in at his new office, according to Fox News.
