Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, is expected to step down soon, according to a person familiar with the movement. Texas Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe, who aggressively questioned former special counsel Robert Mueller last week, has been mentioned as a potential replacement, though an official said a final decision hasn't been made. Coats' expected departure marks the most recent chapter in President Donald Trump's tense and puzzling relationship with the US intelligence community, a constellation of over a dozen agencies that the President has publicly mocked, ignored and dismissed. Coats has spent his tenure in the administration at odds with the President, who has regularly fumed about him. The two never clicked on a personal level and Trump has been on the brink of firing him in the past, though aides were able to convince the President not to do so.
