President Trump announced that Richard Grenell would become the acting DNI until he finds a long term replacement.
I am pleased to announce that our highly respected Ambassador to Germany, @RichardGrenell, will become the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Rick has represented our Country exceedingly well and I look forward to working with him. I would like to thank Joe Maguire….

….for the wonderful job he has done, and we look forward to working with him closely, perhaps in another capacity within the Administration!

Thank you to our great US Ambassador to Germany, @RichardGrenell, for stepping in to serve as acting DNI. I will be nominating a terrific candidate for the job very soon. Stay tuned!

It is unclear how long he will be in the role:
Four great candidates are under consideration at DNI. Decision within next few weeks!

As the Trump War Room pointed out he is the first openly gay cabinet member in US history:

Grenell confirmed he won’t be the DNI longterm:
Correct. Acting. The President will announce the Nominee (not me) sometime soon. https://t.co/9ShqB2eXea

I want to make sure to point out that Richard Grenell being gay had nothing to do with his appointment. Unlike leftists, we don’t view people by these categories. Grenell was selected because he is an honest man. Grenell is someone who won’t use his position at the DNI to try and overthrow President Trump. The point of me writing this is simply to debunk the left-wing narrative surrounding President Trump and this Nationalist movement. We are told we are homophobes. We are told that we hate gays. None of this is true.
