#US_Presidentelect #Joe_Biden chose Avril Haines as #Director of #National_Intelligence becoming the first #woman to hold this position in #American history. This position is described as the #highest in the #American_intelligence #community as the Director of National Intelligence #supervises 12 intelligence #agencies and #reports to him. Observers say the #presence of Haines, as well as the #current #CIA Director Gina Haspel, in such leadership positions represents a #clear #shift in favor of #women_working in #US_intelligence services. Who is Haines, and what is her #career in intelligence that #brought her to this #high position? Although Haines #held a #number of high-ranking intelligence positions, she did not #originally come from the #intelligence_community or receive direct training as an #intelligence_officer to #work for it.
