while john ratcliffe was director of national intelligence, the saudi leadership, madam president, was protected from public accountability. while he was director of national intelligence, director ratcliffe wrote to multiple members of congress saying that he had completed his review of the intelligence and determined that nothing more could be released. and despite the fact that the congress passed a law, director ratcliffe insisted that there was only marginal public interest in declassification. he said this in three letters to me, to acting chair, chairman rubio, and vice chairman warner and to the chair of the house intelligence committee. so to me, madam president, this raises questions about john ratcliffe's commitment to the law. and basically, i have concerns about his truthfulness with the congress. as part of this nomination process, i submitted a written question asking him why he didn't obey the law. he responded that a review had been necessary to determine what could be declassified, and i quote here, this review was not completed until after i left office. madam presid

so let me reintroduce you to john ratcliffe. ratcliffe, a former congressman from texas, served as trump's director of national intelligence for about six months back in 2020. and i'm going to get back to that in just a moment. ratcliffe served in the house from 2015 to 2020, and during that time he built his reputation as a fierce donald trump loyalist. in 2019, trump named ratcliffe as one of several house republicans to serve on his impeachment advisory team. ratcliffe ardently defended donald trump during those first impeachment proceedings, which involved a phone call between trump and the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky. that same year, ratcliffe was critical of the investigation into russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, suggesting that fbi and intelligence officials had shown political bias and possibly committed crimes. now, this must have gotten the attention of the white house, because in july of 2019, trump nominated ratcliffe to be the director of national intelligence after dan coats steppe
