WASHINGTON - U.S. Representative Doug Collins on Friday said he still plans to run for the U.S. Senate, despite President Donald Trump’s remarks that he was a leading candidate to head the nation’s intelligence agencies.
“I know the problems of our intelligence community, but this is not a job that is of interest to me. At this time, it’s not one that I would accept,” the Georgia Republican said. “I’m sure the president will pick somebody appropriate for that job.” Russia, which has denied the U.S. intelligence community assessment that it meddled in the 2016 election, called the allegations false on Friday.
Politico also reported that a former aide to Republican U.S. Representative Devin Nunes who later served in the National Security Council, Kash Patel, would serve as a senior adviser to Grenell.
