Former DNI Director Named as Head of CIA

Background

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News)—President-Elect Donald Trump announced that he would appoint John Radcliffe, the former Director of National Intelligence (DNI), as the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in his administration.

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

Trump praised John Ratcliffe, stating, “From exposing fake Russian collusion as a Clinton campaign operation to catching the FBI’s abuse of civil liberties at the FISA Court, John Ratcliffe has consistently been a warrior for truth and honesty with the American public. Even when 51 intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, John was the one telling the truth to the American people.”

Trump further emphasized his admiration by recalling the honor he bestowed upon Ratcliffe in 2020: “It was my great honor to award John the National Security Medal, the nation’s highest honor for distinguished achievement in the field of intelligence and national security.” He anticipated Ratcliffe’s new role, stating, “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.”

Before his tenure as the Director of National Intelligence, Ratcliffe served as a U.S. representative for the state of Texas.
