TAPPER: "In our politics lead now, the way that President Trump selected his new director of national intelligence has alarmed intelligence professionals across the board, because he passed over the number two at the intelligence agency, Sue Gordon because, two sources tell CNN, it was believed that Gordon would not be the 'type of political loyalist the President wanted in the role.'

Sue Gordon made clear in her farewell note to the President, which the White House released, that stepping down was not her idea, as CNN's Alex Marquardt reports."
