16:07 GMT 18.11.2016 (Updated: 11:23 GMT 06.08.2022) US Senator Pat Roberts said US Congressman Mike Pompeo will be an important figure in Donald Trump's administration.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US Congressman Mike Pompeo will be an important asset to the Trump administration as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), US Senator and former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Pat Roberts said in a press release on Friday.
"Kansans can be proud Mike Pompeo will lead the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and will be in a position to protect our national security at a time of increasing and varying global threats," Roberts stated. "He is a good and wise selection."
