WASHINGTON - U.S. Representative Doug Collins on Friday said he still plans to run for the U.S. Senate, despite President Donald Trump’s remarks that he was a leading candidate to head the nation’s intelligence agencies.

“I know the problems of our intelligence community, but this is not a job that is of interest to me. At this time, it’s not one that I would accept,” the Georgia Republican said. “I’m sure the president will pick somebody appropriate for that job.” Russia, which has denied the U.S. intelligence community assessment that it meddled in the 2016 election, called the allegations false on Friday.

Politico also reported that a former aide to Republican U.S. Representative Devin Nunes who later served in the National Security Council, Kash Patel, would serve as a senior adviser to Grenell.

Senate GOP gives Trump's pick for intelligence chief tepid responseSenate Republicans are giving a tepid reaction to President Donald Trump's decision to appoint US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell as acting director of national intelligence. Once again spinless Republicans stand by and do nothing putting the security of our country in peril. He's running out of decent people to fill these posts so he appoints people from the swamp! 'Tepid response' is code for: 'Republicans are going to bitch about it publicly until they cave to Trump's wishes anyway.'
