President Trump announced on Friday afternoon that he is withdrawing his nomination of John Ratcliffe to be the next Director of National Intelligence.

“Our great Republican Congressman John Ratcliffe is being treated very unfairly by the LameStream Media.

I will be announcing my nomination for DNI shortly.” Trump said in a pair of tweets on Friday.
