  • Veteran spy Gina Haspel will become the first female director of the CIA (Central intelligence Agency - CIA) after six Democrats joined Republicans in a Senate confirmation vote.

  • It has overridden concerns about her role in the spy agency’s harsh interrogation program after 9/11.
  • Haspel, who has spent nearly all of her 33-year CIA career in undercover positions, is the first career operations officer to be confirmed since William Colby in 1973.
