This from Senate Majority Leader who is obviously not on same page as Trump

Thune says intelligence director hearing will proceed today despite Trump's comments

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-SD., said that Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton, R-Ark., will move forward with Jay Clayton’s confirmation hearing to be the director of national intelligence today, after Trump said on social media this morning that he was “cancelling” the hearing.

“All I know is that Chairman Cotton is planning to proceed, as you all know, with the hearing, and then from there on, we’ll just have to take it a day at a time until we get more clarity on kind of what the White House position is, I guess,” Thune told reporters.

Asked why the president is doing this, Thune replied, “Good question.”
