  • CIA Director Ratcliffe Faces Scrutiny from Senator Wyden Amid World Factbook Closure

    CIA Director Ratcliffe Faces Scrutiny from Senator Wyden Amid World Factbook Closure
    2026/02/05
    John Ratcliffe, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, faces fresh scrutiny from Senator Ron Wyden. According to NBC sixteen and K C B Y news, Wyden, the longest serving member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, sent a classified letter to Ratcliffe on Wednesday expressing deep concerns about C I A activities. In an unclassified note, Wyden wrote, I write to alert you to a classified letter I sent you earlier today, in which I express deep concerns about C I A activities. This development highlights ongoing tensions over agency operations.

    In a major policy shift, the C I A under Ratcliffe announced the end of its World Factbook, a reference tool published for over sixty years. Politico reports the decision follows Ratcliffe's vow to eliminate programs that do not advance the agency's core missions. Launched in nineteen sixty two as a classified manual for intelligence officers, the Factbook detailed foreign nations economies, militaries, resources, and societies. It became so valuable that federal agencies adopted it, leading to a public version within a decade. Online since nineteen ninety seven, it drew millions of visits yearly from journalists, students, and trivia fans, as noted by Click on Detroit and Halifax City News.

    The Associated Press explains the move aligns with White House efforts early in President Trump's second term to cut staffing at the C I A and National Security Agency, pushing the agency to operate with fewer resources. The C I A website posted the announcement without further explanation, and the agency did not respond to comment requests.

    These actions signal Ratcliffe's focus on streamlining amid budget pressures and congressional oversight.

  • CIA Director John Ratcliffe's Key Role in Venezuela Operation and Intelligence Strategy

    CIA Director John Ratcliffe's Key Role in Venezuela Operation and Intelligence Strategy
    2026/01/27
    CIA Director John Ratcliffe has been at the center of major developments following the United States military operation in Venezuela earlier this month. On January 3rd, 2026, the United States launched Operation Absolute Resolve, a military strike that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Ratcliffe played a key role in this operation and its aftermath.

    As the first senior Trump administration official to visit Venezuela after Maduro's capture, Ratcliffe traveled to Caracas on January 16th to meet with interim President Delcy Rodríguez and Venezuelan military leaders. During this visit, according to sources familiar with the planning, Ratcliffe conveyed a clear message to Venezuela's new leadership that the country can no longer serve as a safe haven for America's adversaries, particularly targeting concerns about Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence in the region.

    CNN reports that Ratcliffe and the CIA are now quietly working to establish a permanent American intelligence presence in Venezuela as part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to influence the country's future. According to multiple sources familiar with the planning, the CIA is spearheading discussions with the State Department about what this long-term footprint will look like. In the short term, US officials are expected to operate from a CIA annex before a formal embassy opens, allowing them to build informal relationships with various Venezuelan government factions and opposition figures while identifying potential threats.

    Before the military operation, Ratcliffe's agency played a crucial role in its success. According to sources briefed on the operation, CIA officers were deployed in Venezuela in August 2025 to track Maduro's patterns, locations, and movements. The agency had secretly installed a small team inside the country that provided vital intelligence. Additionally, the CIA had a source operating within the Venezuelan government who helped the United States track Maduro's location and movements leading up to his capture.

    The CIA also provided classified analysis to senior policymakers regarding the implications of Maduro's removal from power and was expected to continue making recommendations on Venezuela's leadership situation going forward. Ratcliffe's visit to Caracas underscored the agency's expanded role in post-Maduro Venezuela, with intelligence officials now tasked with briefing Venezuelan authorities on American concerns about hostile foreign powers.

  • CIA Director Ratcliffe Visits Venezuela, Seeks Cooperation Amid Political Turmoil

    CIA Director Ratcliffe Visits Venezuela, Seeks Cooperation Amid Political Turmoil
    2026/01/25
    John Ratcliffe serves as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In recent days, he made a high-profile trip to Venezuela to meet interim President Delcy Rodriguez in Caracas. CBS News reports that Ratcliffe traveled there on Thursday, the same day President Trump met opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. AOL confirms the meeting with Rodriguez and other top officials came twelve days after United States forces seized former President Nicolas Maduro.

    This visit highlights efforts to rebuild trust and discuss security cooperation. Ground News sources say Rodriguez offered the White House collaboration once Maduro was detained, with Ratcliffe's meeting aimed at stabilizing the country and preventing collapse. She pledged help on security but not in removing Maduro. Talks also covered oil sector reforms to allow foreign investment without state oil company control, aided by Qatar's ties.

    TBS News details how Rodriguez, a former vice president and oil minister, met Ratcliffe amid her push to consolidate power. Facing internal rivalries, especially with hardline Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, she appointed loyalists like Major General Gustavo Gonzalez to head the military counterintelligence agency. Sources close to the government note she needs United States consent to survive, reforming armed forces and boosting oil production to meet Trump administration demands.

    The trip underscores tense dynamics in Venezuela, where Rodriguez calls for dialogue with opposition sectors for peace and coexistence over the next one hundred days. Radio France Internationale and ANSA report her push for agreements despite political differences. Meanwhile, CBS News mentions Ratcliffe's separate secret visit to Poland for high-level security talks amid rising tensions on NATO's eastern flank.

    These moves show Ratcliffe's active role in key global hotspots.
