U.S. Senator John Cornyn from Texas shared his thoughts with the media following a meeting with John Ratcliffe, the former Congressman for Texas' 4th congressional district and current Director of National Intelligence. President-Elect Trump has announced his intention to nominate Ratcliffe as the next Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Cornyn expressed support for Ratcliffe's nomination, stating, "I’ve known John Ratcliffe for a number of years, even before he came to Congress, and of course, worked with him as part of the Texas delegation. I had the honor of introducing him with his previous nomination for Director of National Intelligence, so I think that’s an outstanding pick by President Trump."

John Cornyn is a member of several key Senate committees including Finance, Intelligence, and Judiciary.
