WASHINGTON — The Senate voted Thursday to confirm John Ratcliffe as the next CIA director under President Donald Trump, approving the second high-level appointment for the new administration.

Ratcliffe faced a brief delay to his nomination from Democrats questioning his independence from President Donald Trump.

Ratcliffe, 59, is now the first person to have served as both director of national intelligence and chief of the CIA.

A former federal prosecutor and Texas Republican, Ratcliffe gained prominence as a congressman as a staunch defender of Trump.
