Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) said he’s not interested in becoming the director of national intelligence just hours after President Donald Trump suggested him as a candidate for the position.

“Let me tell you right now, I know the problems in the intelligence committee. It’s not a job that interests me at this time. It’s not one that I would accept, because I’m running a Senate race down here in Georgia,” Collins, 53, said during an appearance on Fox Business on Friday morning.
