Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) questioned CIA director nominee Gina Haspel's "suitability" to hold such a position on Wednesday.
Harris told Haspel during her Senate confirmation hearing that the selection of the CIA's new leader will be a "signal" to everyone around the world about American values.
She stated that Haspel had not answered if she believed previous interrogation techniques were immoral.
When Haspel did not answer the question multiple times, Harris grilled her further.
"Please answer yes or no. Do you believe in hindsight that those techniques were immoral," she said in the tense exchange.
