President Donald Trump’s nominee to become the next CIA director was so concerned about the questions around her role in the interrogation of terror suspects that she sought to withdraw her name from consideration for the job. Haspel was summoned to the White House Friday and officials raised concerns so she said she was interested in pulling her nomination if it meant a damaging confirmation hearing could be avoided, the Washington Post revealed. Haspel, who is the deputy director of the agency, said she wanted to avoid a series of events that could be damaging to both her reputation and the agency as a whole.
