Chris Stewart Considered for Intelligence Director

Former Utah Congressman Chris Stewart is being considered for the position of Director of National Intelligence in President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming administration. Stewart, who served on the House Intelligence Committee and has extensive military experience, resigned from Congress in 2023 to care for his ailing wife, which may influence his decision regarding the role. Reports indicate that he is among the top candidates for the position, alongside potential considerations for the CIA director role. Stewart's previous support for Trump, particularly during the first impeachment, may bolster his candidacy. His selection would signal a continuation of Trump's focus on strong national security measures, reminiscent of his earlier administration's policies. The overall impact of Stewart's potential appointment remains to be determined as the transition team finalizes its selections.
