President Donald Trump will nominate a new inspector general for the intelligence community -- a successor to the watchdog who triggered his impeachment earlier this year.
Trump’s prospective nominee is Allen Robert Souza, who serves as principal deputy senior director for Intelligence Programs at the National Security Council and is a former aide to Congressman Devin Nunes of California, the ranking Republican of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and a Trump ally.
