President Trump's pick to lead the CIA has been assuring senators in private that she will not allow the agency to restart a controversial detention and interrogation program, according to a congressional aide.
The nominee, Gina Haspel, is expected to make that pledge public in her opening remarks when she goes before the Senate Intelligence Committee for her confirmation hearing next month.
Haspel's confirmation hearing is scheduled for May 9. She is a veteran of the CIA who has done multiple tours overseas and has strong support among the agency's employees.
