WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the CIA promised lawmakers on Wednesday, May 9, that she will never resume a program of harsh interrogations that has been the major issue complicating her confirmation.
“Having served in that tumultuous time, I can offer you my personal commitment, clearly and without reservation, that under my leadership, on my watch, CIA will not restart such a detention and interrogation program,” Haspel said in her opening statement before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday morning.
