Watch live: The acting director of US intelligence testifies about a whistleblower complaint on President Trump
Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire, testifying before the House Intelligence Committee, said he's"not political" and cited his oath to protect the US Constitution."I believe in a life of service and I'm honored to be a public servant. I served under eight presidents while I was in uniform. I have taken the oath to the constitution 11 times.
The first time when I was sworn into the United States Navy in 1974 and nine times during my subsequent promotions in the United States Navy ... The oath is sacred. It's a foundation of our Constitution. The oath, to me, means not only that I swear a true faith and allegiance to that sacred document, but more importantly I view it as a covenant I have with my work force that I lead and every American that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of my office.
