President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday evening that John Ratcliffe, a former Texas congressman and director of national intelligence, would return to the executive branch as director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
“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,” Trump, 78, said in a statement.
Ratcliffe, 59, represented suburban Dallas for more than five years before Trump tapped him to oversee America’s intelligence agencies in May 2020.
