Dan Coats to Resign
WASHINGTON
Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, is expected to step down in the coming days after spending his tenure at odds with President Trump over issues including Russia and Mr. Trump
s own attacks on the intelligence community, people familiar with the decision said on Sunday.
To replace him, the people said, the president was likely to tap Representative John Ratcliffe, a Texas Republican and staunch defender of Mr. Trump. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, he sharply questioned Robert S. Mueller III, the former special counsel, at last week
s hearing. Still, it was not certain who the replacement would be, as Mr. Trump increasingly has a cabinet filled with
acting
appointees.
