President Trump has named U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell to be the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Grenell will replace Acting Director Joseph Maguire, who replaced Dan Coates. Coates was confirmed to the post which is why he was the actual DNI, rather than acting. Grenell was confirmed to his German post, and can be Acting DNI for 210 days before needing Senate confirmation. Given the current, outright hatred for the President and the coming election, that is not going to happen. The next Presidential election is 258 days away.
