Mr. Trump’s pick for acting director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte<\/span>, has attracted strong criticism from Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill, stalling work on extending a key spy power<\/span> that is set to lapse this weekend. Democrats are refusing to agree to an extension as long as Pulte is set to assume the role. The president said Pulte will take over for Tulsi Gabbard on June 19.<\/p>\n
