President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that he would appoint former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe to serve as Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director.

A former Texas congressman, Ratcliffe served in the first Trump administration as DNI, replacing Dan Coats in 2020.

"I look forward to John being the first person ever to serve in both of our Nation’s highest Intelligence positions," Trump announced in a statement. "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."

He further touted Ratcliffe's willingness to break with the intelligence community in asserting that Hunter Biden's laptop was real. ...

Trump picks former intel director John Ratcliffe to head the CIA

John Ratcliffe, who served as President-elect Trump's principal intelligence advisor during his first presidential term, will serve as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency when Trump moves back into the White House. 

Ratcliffe is one of several appointees announced in the past week who will fill key positions during Trump's second term.

"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," Trump said in a statement. "When 51 intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, there was one, John Ratcliffe, telling the truth to the American People."................

Ratcliffe is a good man but I'm not sure that he is the best man for this job. I' would have preferred General Mike Flynn personally.

He would have been great. Maybe something over at DOD.
