The Senate has confirmed Donald Trump's pick to lead the CIA. John Ratcliffe was director of national intelligence during Trump's first term and is the first person to have held that position and the top post at the CIA, the nation's premier spy agency. Ratcliffe is the second of Trump's nominees to be confirmed, following Marco Rubio as secretary of state. Ratcliffe told senators at a hearing last week that the CIA must do better when it comes to using technology like artificial intelligence to confront adversaries including Russia and China. He was sworn into office shortly after winning Senate confirmation on Thursday.
