[Free Beacon] Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kansas) was confirmed Monday night as the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency for President Donald Trump’s administration.
Pompeo is the third person appointed by Trump to be confirmed to his cabinet position.
As head of the CIA, Pompeo will be mainly in charge of "managing a global spying network at a time of escalating security problems, including renewed aggression from Russia, the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and the splintering terror threat posed by the Islamic State," the Washington Post reported on Monday night. |
