The Senate has voted to approve the confirmation of former Indiana Senator Dan Coats as director of national intelligence. In 2003, Coats served as U.S. ambassador to Germany, where he pressured the German government not to oppose President George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq. He is also a vocal enemy of Planned Parenthood, saying in 2015, “The barbaric practices of Planned Parenthood should not receive a dime of taxpayer money.”
