President Trump formally sent his nomination for Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) to become the director of national intelligence (DNI) to the Senate Monday.
Ratcliffe had previously been considered to take on the head intelligence director role but he withdrew from the running after public scrutiny over his experience.
