John Ratcliffe, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for CIA Director, faced a confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee on January 15, 2025. Ratcliffe, who previously served as Director of National Intelligence during Trump's first term, emphasized the need for the CIA to enhance its technology and human intelligence capabilities to counter global threats. He assured senators that the agency must stay ahead of threats posed by adversaries such as Russia, China, and others, and promised to prioritize the CIA's mission over political biases. Ratcliffe's experience and his commitment to depoliticizing the agency were highlighted, alongside his plans to increase the use of artificial intelligence and human intelligence collection.
