Dickerson pointed out to Pence that Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), whom Trump plans to nominate as director of the CIA, supports Trump's position that perhaps waterboarding should be reinstated. However, former House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said after the election that Trump’s waterboarding remarks were just “campaign talk,” according to CNN. Wallace asked Pence whether anyone seeking to win favor with Trump could do so through a deal with the Trump Organization.
