On February 28, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released DNI nominee Daniel Coats’ confirmation hearing statement for the record. An excerpt appears below:

The President and I have discussed my potential role as his principal intelligence advisor, and we both recognize that this position is frequently the bearer of unpleasant news. But if confirmed, my responsibility would be to provide him with the most accurate and objective intelligence possible.
