[The Hill] Top CIA officials are reportedly wary of CIA Director Mike Pompeo's interest in the Counterintelligence Mission Center -- an agency closely tied to the ongoing probe of possible ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election.
According to a report by The Washington Post, Pompeo issued a directive to the agency, which has worked closely with the FBI on its Russia investigation, requiring that it report directly to him.
Officials at the Counterintelligence Mission Center have in turn kept an eye on Pompeo, according to the Post. The report says there is currently no evidence to suggest Pompeo has hindered the ongoing investigation. |
