In a 54-45 vote, the Senate confirmed the nomination of Gina Haspel to be CIA director, the first woman in the agency’s history. Right before Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) spoke on the floor, the sergeant-at-arms was asked to remove a protester from the chamber. This happened before the vote to confirm Ms. Haspel.
