President elect Donald Trump offered the position of CIA director to three term Republican representative Mike Pompeo and Pompeo has accepted. The transition team also confirmed that the position of attorney General will go to Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), and the National Security Advisor post will go to retired General Michael Flynn.
