Mike Pompeo, l'allié de Trump à la tête de la C.I.A.?

En nommant Mike Pompeo à la tête de la C.I.A., Donald Trump savait qu'il pouvait compter sur un allié, sur un fidèle partisan. Pompeo s'est intéressé de près à une unité qui travaille à l'enquête sur les liens entre la Russie et l'équipe de Donald Trump pendant l'élection. Cet article révèle que des responsables de la C.I.A. ont leur directeur à l'oeil pour cette raison... Pompeo protège-t-il la vérité ou le Président?

 "Officials at the center have, in turn, kept a watchful eye on Pompeo, who has repeatedly played down Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and demonstrated a willingness to engage in political skirmishes for President Trump.

Current and former officials said that the arrangement has been a source of apprehension among the CIA’s upper ranks and that they could not recall a time in the agency’s history when a director faced a comparable conflict.

“Pompeo is in a delicate situation unlike any other director has faced, certainly in my memory,” said Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, a CIA official for 23 years who served in Russia and held high-level positions at headquarters, “because of his duty to protect and provide the truth to an independent investigation while maintaining his role with the president.”
