WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Stacy Dixon is set to become President-elect Donald Trump's acting director of national intelligence, a spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told Reuters. Dixon has served as principal deputy director of national intelligence since August 2021.
Trump has tapped Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat, to serve as director of national intelligence, which is a position that has to be confirmed by the Senate.
The Senate has not yet scheduled a hearing for Gabbard, whose 2017 visit to Syria to meet then-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and whose lack of significant intelligence experience have stirred concerns among some senators.
Dixon, who was appointed to her current post by President Joe Biden, will become the top-ranking official at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence at a time when Trump has promised to make public documents related to the killing of President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
