Trump to name Richard Grenell as acting intelligence chief
President Donald Trump is expected to name US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell as the next acting director of national intelligence, according to two sources familiar with the decision. News of the pick comes as Trump faces a March 11 deadline to nominate a new director of national intelligence or name a new acting spy chief. Federal law prevents the current acting DNI, Joseph Maguire, from serving beyond that date. With files from CNN and Wikipedia.
