CIA Director Mike Pompeo: Trump’s “An Avid Consumer” Of Intel, Will “Punish Leakers”

In his first interview since becoming the head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo pushed back against accusations that President Donald Trump doesn’t read his daily intelligence briefings, claiming that the president is ‘very interested’ in what’s happening at the intelligence communities and that his daily in-person briefings with the president typically run longer than their allotted time.
Pompeo tells MSNBC that Trump is a demanding boss who asks ‘great questions’ and is trying to enable the CIA to take a more active ‘operational’ role in countering threats posed by the US’s enemies.
