Haspel tough on terror, says Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday defended Gina Haspel, his nominee to head the CIA, dismissing debate over her involvement in a harsh interrogation program of terror suspects after 9/11, and arguing Democrats want her out because she “is too tough on terror.”

He said on Twitter that Ms. Haspel has “come under fire because she was too tough on Terrorists.” “In these very dangerous times, we have the most qualified person, a woman, who Democrats want OUT because she is too tough on terror. Win Gina!”
