The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul. This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous.

This is false and salacious reporting that serves as nothing more than a PR campaign for the cartels and puts American lives at risk.

Fifteen years ago today (1 May 2011), U.S. Navy SEALs raided a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan and killed Usama Bin Laden. The raid marked the end of a more than 15-year effort by partners across the Intelligence Community to find Bin Ladin. Learn more: cia.gov/stories/story/minute…

Great to join the SCSP AI Intelligence Summit last week to discuss how the U.S. must continue to lead the AI race in the face of evolving global threats. @CIA is modernizing our capabilities for a new era of global competition.

.@CIADirector: "CIA executed a deception campaign to confuse the Iranians, who were desperately hunting for our airmen. On Saturday morning, we achieved our primary objective by finding and providing confirmation that one of America’s best and bravest was alive... Following the successful exfiltration on Saturday night, our intelligence reflects that the Iranians were embarrassed, and ultimately humiliated by the success of this audacious rescue mission."

Section 702 of FISA contributes to nearly every CIA operation to protect our Nation from foreign threats and attacks. @CIA looks forward to working with Congress to enact a clean 18-month reauthorization of Section 702.

The Obama and Biden administrations mixed intelligence analysis and politics far too often. I commend Director Ratcliffe for correcting the record and ensuring that the CIA’s analysis is free of any political bias.

Today @DCIARatcliffe ordered the retraction or substantial revision of 19 products that failed to meet CIA analytic tradecraft standards. CIA is committed to delivering objective intelligence free from bias, partisanship, and any form of undue influence. cia.gov/stories/story/dcia-r…

CIA is fully committed to delivering objective intelligence analysis. When we fall short of our standards, we owe it to the American people to correct the record.

Thank you to @patrickhenrycol for the warm welcome last week! I enjoyed the fireside chat with the Director of their Strategic Intelligence Program, and engaging with students on future opportunities in public service.
