He previously served as the Representative for Texas's 4th district from 2015 to 2020. During his time in Congress, Ratcliffe was regarded as one of the most conservative members.[5][6]
President Donald Trump announced on July 28, 2019, that he intended to nominate Ratcliffe to replace Dan Coats as Director of National Intelligence.[7][8] Ratcliffe withdrew after Republican senators raised concerns about him, former intelligence officials said he might politicize intelligence, and media revealed Ratcliffe's embellishments regarding his prosecutorial experience in terrorism and immigration cases.[9][10][11][12]
On February 28, 2020, President Trump announced that he would again nominate Ratcliffe to be Director of National Intelligence,[13] and after Senate approval,[14] he resigned from the House,[15] and was sworn in on May 26. During his confirmation hearing, amid concerns that Ratcliffe would politicize the DNI, Ratcliffe pledged to be apolitical.[16] However, months into his tenure as DNI, Ratcliffe was widely regarded as using the DNI to score political points for Trump.[16] To aid Trump, Ratcliffe made public assertions that contradicted the intelligence community's own assessments,[16] and sidelined career officials in the intelligence community.[17]
The guy is a trump supporter who has been on the job for less than 7 months and is known to lie.
