With a tense confirmation hearing for Gina Haspel to run the CIA expected on Wednesday, dozens of defenders from both parties have pulled out the stops to support her nomination process. The group includes former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as well as John Brennan, who led the CIA under President Barack Obama. A source told Fox News Monday that the CIA dropped off binders of Haspel’s classified record from her 33-year career at the agency, including her performance reviews. Haspel has told lawmakers in recent weeks that she would stand firm against any effort to restart the brutal detention and interrogation program. Haspel will return to Capitol Hill to meet with more senators Tuesday, an intelligence official told Fox News.
