If the reports are confirmed, SI in the US will end up in the hands of the intelligence chief: the authorities increasingly see it as a matter of national security, not just a technology.
According to CBS News, citing sources, Trump will likely give the White House "SI czar" post to Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton: he would keep his current position and add the SI portfolio to it. Clayton was confirmed in July; earlier he headed the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and was a Manhattan prosecutor. A decision is expected in the coming days; the White House called the reports "baseless speculation" and said the president himself would announce personnel decisions. The post was previously held by David Sacks, who left it this year.
