(11 Jan 2021) President-elect Joe Biden announced Monday he has chosen veteran diplomat William Burns to be his CIA director.
A former ambassador to Russia and Jordan, Burns has had a 33-year career at the State Department under both Republican and Democratic presidents.
He rose through the ranks of the diplomatic corps to become deputy secretary of state before retiring in 2014 to run the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace.
Last year Burns began writing pieces which were highly critical of the Trump administration's foreign policies.
He was described by the President-elect as "an exemplary diplomat" who shared his "profound belief that intelligence must be apolitical".
