Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said Tuesday hell vote for Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas), President Donald Trumps nominee for director of national intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe \u201cunderstands the challenges facing the Intelligence Community in the 21st century and is ready to work to meet them,\u201d Burr said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is has committed to working with our Committee and with Congress to ensure proper oversight and information sharing. And he has pledged to support the men and women of the Intelligence Community in their steadfast work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burr said he looked forward to advancing the nomination and supporting it when it comes before the full Senate.<\/p>\n

The statement came after Ratcliffe answered questions from Burrs committee in Washington.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe told senators he wouldnt distort findings if he becomes director of national intelligence (DNI).<\/p>\n

\"Epoch<\/figcaption><\/a> Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) testifies before a Senate Intelligence Committee nomination hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington on May 5, 2020. (Andrew Harnik\/Pool\/Reuters)<\/figure>\n

\u201cLet me be very clear: Regardless of what anyone wants our intelligence to reflect, the intelligence I will provide, if confirmed, will not be impacted or altered as a result of outside influence,\u201d he told the committee. The intelligence community will be \u201claser focused\u201d on finding out how the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus<\/a> started if hes confirmed, Ratcliffe said.<\/p>\n

The congressman, who was nominated last year for the same position before Trump withdrew the nomination, said he wasnt sure what Trump meant when he said in 2019 that intelligence agencies had \u201crun amok.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) whether he would convey findings to Trump even he knew Trump disagreed with them and that doing so could cost him his job, he said \u201cof course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe was on a team of advisors to Trump as the Senate in January weighed whether to convict the president on articles of impeachment approved by the House. He called the impeachment \u201cthe thinnest, fastest, and weakest impeachment our country has ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe also appeared to earn the support of Collins, who said last week that she spoke with him before concluding he has the experience \u201cto meet the statutory standard to fill the position.\u201d<\/p>\n
