James Robert Clapper Jr.[1]
(born March 14, 1941[2])
is a retired
lieutenant general in the
United States Air Force and is the former
Director of National Intelligence. Clapper has held several key positions
within the
United States Intelligence Community. He served as director of the
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) from 1992 until 1995. He was the first
director of defense intelligence within the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence and simultaneously the
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.[3]
He served as the director of the
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) from September 2001 until June
2006.
On June 5, 2010, President
Barack
Obama nominated Clapper to replace
Dennis C. Blair as
United States Director of National Intelligence. Clapper was unanimously
confirmed by the Senate for the position on August 5, 2010.
Following the June 2013 leak of documents detailing the
NSA practice of collecting telephone
metadata
on millions of Americans' telephone calls, Clapper was accused of
perjury for
telling a congressional committee hearing that the NSA does not collect any type
of data on millions of Americans earlier that year. One senator asked for his
resignation, and a group of 26 senators complained about Clapper's responses
under questioning. In November 2016, Clapper resigned as director of national
intelligence, effective at the end of President Obama's term. In May 2017, he
joined the Washington, D.C.–based think tank the
Center for a New American Security (CNAS) as a Distinguished Senior Fellow
for Intelligence and National Security.[4]

James Clapper calls Trump speech 'downright scary and disturbing'
James Clapper, former director of National Intelligence, said Wednesday morning
he questioned President Donald Trump's fitness for office.
"I really question his ability to be -- his fitness to be -- in this office, and
I also am beginning to wonder about his motivation for it," Clapper told CNN's
Don Lemon on "CNN Tonight."
Clapper denounced Trump's "behavior and divisiveness and complete intellectual,
moral and ethical void."
"How much longer does the country have to, to borrow a phrase, endure this
nightmare?"

July 19:
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper confirmed Thursday that
Donald Trump was briefed on US intelligence findings that Russian President
Vladimir Putin personally ordered cyberattacks to attempt to sway the 2016
presidential election.
Clapper told CNN's "New Day" that he and other intelligence officers briefed
Trump, who was President-elect at the time, and his team on January 6, 2017. CNN
has
previously reported that Trump was briefed on the report by the US
intelligence community, which found that Putin ordered an "influence campaign"
aimed at helping Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential
election.
"What struck me and others as quite unusual was before we left the room, they
started writing a press release about our encounter and were trying to say that
the Russian meddling -- the Russian interference had no impact on the election,"
Clapper said Thursday. "We didn't say that. We could not say that, that isn't
the charter or capability of the intelligence community to do that. But I do
think there was skepticism from the get-go -- from that day to this day -- that
indicated that anything that attacked the legitimacy or questioned the
legitimacy of now-President Trump's election, he just couldn't get his head
around. He exhibited that that day and he has ever since."

August 19: Clapper: Brennan's rhetoric is
becoming an issue
"John and his rhetoric have become an issue in and of itself," Clapper said on
CNN's "State of the Union." "John is subtle like a freight train and he’s gonna
say what’s on his mind."
Clapper's comments came in response to
an op-ed penned by Brennan in The New York Times this week, in which he
wrote that President
Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.
