President-elect Donald Trump has pulled from his first administration to appoint a director for the Central Intelligence Agency. Trump named former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe to the position.
Trump wrote:
From exposing fake Russian collusion to be a Clinton campaign operation, to catching the FBI’s abuse of Civil Liberties at the FISA Court, John Ratcliffe has always been a warrior for Truth and Honesty with the American Public. When 51 intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, there was one, John Ratcliffe, telling the truth to the American People.
For these and many other reasons, it was my great honor in 2020 to award John the National Security Medal, the Nation’s highest honor for distinguished achievement in the field of Intelligence and National Security.
I look forward to John being the first…
