In a stunning recent turn of events, Pres. Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, shuffled his team and plans to make Gina Haspel the first woman to rise to the post of Director of the CIA.
In this Fox News report posted on YouTube, the president provides a glowing endorsement of the potential top spy chief. However, the relatively unknown operative continues to be something of a mystery to everyday Americans who want to know: Who is Gina Haspel?
Very little is publicly known about the enigmatic woman who worked as a deep cover operative. She was brought into her current post by director Mike Pompeo after years of top-level field work. Her modest appearance makes her seem like a mild-mannered woman one might find working in a bank, office or a member of the PTA. In reality, she has been ranked among the toughest and most loyal spies, willing to interrogate enemies held in foreign prisons. In short, Gina Haspel is a hardcore, deep-cover spy of the first order.
With CIA Director Mike Pompeo taking over as Secretary of State, the nation waits for Congress to sign off on a loyal soldier who has earned the second-in-command post at the country’s most secretive agency.
This Fox News clip posted to YouTube brings to light what we know about Gina Haspel and informs us about the rough Senate confirmation road she faces in the coming weeks.
