Politico: McCain urges Senate to reject Haspel for CIA
McCain’s absence from the debate over the Haspel nomination as he receives cancer treatment has been keenly felt by her critics, who share his concerns about her role in the use of brutal interrogation tactics against detainees.
It is unclear whether or not McCain’s reservations will impact Haspel’s nomination. Rand Paul is the only Republican so far who has said he will vote against Haspel. Republicans are targeting Senate Democrats up for re-election in states Donald Trump won to support the CIA nominee.
