During a Cabinet meeting, Ratcliffe noted that the CIA has deployed "distinctive covert action capabilities" across various regions to support national security objectives, promote peace, end conflicts, eliminate terrorists, and prevent illegal drugs from entering the United States. He thanked Trump for the opportunity to lead this effort, though specific details about the restructuring were not provided.
This announcement comes amid controversy surrounding Ratcliffe's use of the encrypted messaging app Signal for official communications. In March, Ratcliffe defended his participation in a group chat discussing military strategy to strike Yemen, which inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. Critics questioned whether these communications violated record-keeping regulations or potentially compromised sensitive information.
During testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Ratcliffe maintained that using Signal for work-related communications is acceptable, stating that the app was installed on his agency computer shortly after he assumed his role as CIA Director. He affirmed that any decisions made through the platform were properly documented through formal channels and denied that the incident represented a significant blunder.
Ratcliffe, who previously served as a congressman from Texas and as Director of National Intelligence during Trump's first term, was confirmed as CIA Director in January 2025 by a bipartisan Senate vote of 74-25. During his confirmation hearing, he promised to keep the agency politically neutral and "never allow political or personal biases to cloud our judgment."
Since taking office, Ratcliffe has overseen several significant developments at the CIA. In early February, the agency revised its previous assessment of COVID-19's origin from "undecided" to "low confidence" in favor of a laboratory leak in Wuhan. The CIA also began offering employees buyouts in exchange for voluntary resignations, a move that has raised questions about potential staffing changes within the intelligence community.
At the recent Cabinet meeting, Ratcliffe also revealed that the CIA has negotiated the release of Americans who had been wrongfully detained abroad, emphasizing that "no American unjustly held will be forgotten" under the current administration.
