JUST IN: Trump Formally Announces Pick For CIA Director

President-elect Donald Trump formally announced his selection for director of the Central Intelligence Agency in a Truth Social post on Tuesday evening.

 

“I am pleased to announce that former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe will serve as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),” Trump wrote.

 

In making his decision, the president-elect pointed to Ratcliffe’s loyal service in the first administration and efforts to fight back against subversive elements of the intelligence community in order to discredit Trump

 

“From exposing fake Russian collusion to be a Clinton campaign operation, to catching the FBl’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,” Trump wrote.

I look forward to John being the first person ever to serve in both of our Nation’s highest Intelligence positions. He will be a fearless fighter for the Constitutional Rights of all Americans, while ensuring the Highest Levels of National Security, and PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.”

Trump honored Ratcliffe in 2020 with the National Security Medal, the highest honor for distinguished achievement in the field of intelligence and national security.
