Senate
Intelligence Committee backs Gina Haspel
Acting CIA
Director Gina Haspel got another boost this morning,
with the Senate Intelligence Committee voting to recommend her
confirmation as CIA Director to the full Senate. Two Democrats
joined with Republicans in backing Haspel, including Sen. Mark
Warner (D-VA)—the top Democrat on the committee.
“Gina is
committed to making sure we never have to relearn lessons of
the past,” Director of National Intelligence Dan
Coats writes in an op-ed
for USA Today. “Instability and uncertainty
create devastating consequences in war zones . . . We need to
ensure that we have in place the most capable, experienced and
measured intelligence leaders to address these serious
challenges.”
Gina Haspel fits
the bill. The Chicago Tribune’s editorial
board explained last week that President Trump’s CIA nominee
“gets rave reviews from former national security officials
from Democratic and Republican administrations, and is said to
be strongly supported by agency employees.” If confirmed, she
will be the CIA’s first female Director.
Gina
Haspel’s confirmation is central to our national security.

President
Trump on sanctuary cities: ‘We’ve had it’
President Trump
addressed the families of fallen police officers yesterday.
“We stand with our police and we stand with you 100 percent,”
the President said. “Their immortal legacy lives on in each
and every one of you.”
The story of one
slain officer sends our country a message. “Agent
Martinez took immense pride and joy in serving his country as a
Border Patrol agent,” President Trump said. “He bravely
confronted the cartels, the smugglers, the human traffickers,
the gangs that threaten our communities. One night, last
November, Agent Martinez died in the line of duty. It was
horrific.”
“The first
duty of government is to protect our citizens,” the
President said as he called on Congress to fix America’s
broken immigration system. “Stop sanctuary cities, and shut
down policies that release violent criminals back into our
communities. We don’t want it any longer. We’ve had it.”
President Trump
will host a group of mayors and others directly
affected by California’s dangerous sanctuary city laws at the
White House today.
