STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP<\/h2>\n
November 12, 2024<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
I am pleased to announce that former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe will serve as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
From exposing fake Russian collusion to be a Clinton campaign operation, to catching the FBI\u2019s 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\u2019s laptop, there was one, John Ratcliffe, telling the truth to the American People.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
For these and many other reasons, it was my great honor in 2020 to award John the National Security Medal, the Nation\u2019s highest honor for distinguished achievement in the field of Intelligence and National Security.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I look forward to John being the first person ever to serve in both of our Nation\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/div>\n
