Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) is set to become the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, following reports from multiple sources. This development comes as part of a broader reshuffling in the Senate leadership, with Marco Rubio moving to the role of Secretary of State. Cotton, known for his hawkish stance on national security, has previously defended the Patriot Act and introduced legislation to make FISA 702 surveillance permanent.
