James R. Clapper

The Director of U.S. National Intelligence James Clapper announced on Thursday that he has submitted his letter of resignation, but clarified that he will remain in his post until the end of the Obama administration.

The retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, the former director of Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), who called Fethullah Gülen a "shady Islamic mullah" in an op-ed he wrote on the U.S. Election Day, is the subject of this article.

Signaling a low-point in Washington-Moscow relations perhaps not seen since the Cold War, the Obama administration on Friday ended months of speculation and blamed Russia for deploying its hackers to meddle with the U.S. election.

United States spy chief James Clapper's personal online accounts have been hacked, his office confirmed on Jan. 12, a few months after CIA director John Brennan suffered a similar attack.

Clapper's Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed the hack but refused to provide details.

US intelligence chief James Clapper said June 25 that China was the top suspect in the massive hacking of a US government agency that compromised the personnel records of millions of Americans.
