This March 21, 2017, photo provided by the CIA, shows CIA Deputy Director Gina Haspel. Senate Democrats are demanding the CIA release more information about the ex-undercover operative President Donald Trump nominated to direct the spy agency. Democrats say Haspel no longer works undercover and the public has a right to know more about her involvement in the harsh interrogation of terror suspects after 9/11. The CIA has pledged to release more information, but it's not clear if it will share details Democrats seek to illuminate Haspel's clandestine work.(CIA via AP)
