Trump names new acting intel chief
President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Joseph Maguire, the current chief of the National Counterterrorism Center, will become the acting director of national intelligence. Trump's announcement on Twitter came after the deputy director of national intelligence, Sue Gordon, resigned. She said in a note to Trump that stepping down was not her "preference," but added, "You should have your team." Trump said Maguire will take over the acting post on August15, when Dan Coats steps down.
