A principal deputy director of national intelligence will serve as acting director of national intelligence after the departure.

The outgoing director had a difficult tenure and was seldom seen in the room when the president made important national-security moves. The acting appointment takes effect immediately after the June 30 exit.

Officials said the change ensures continuity in the intelligence community. No additional personnel moves were announced in the statement.
