Kennedy’s Daughter-In-Law Doesn’t Get CIA Job

The Washington Post reports:

President-elect Donald Trump has told close aides he is no longer considering Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter-in-law to serve as deputy director at the CIA, after a campaign by Republican lawmakers who feared she would seek to impose major changes at America’s top spy agency, according to people familiar with the matter.

Trump’s decision to pass over Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a former undercover CIA operative who is married to Kennedy’s son, follows a concerted push by Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who lobbied Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles and others close to the president-elect to nix the selection, these people said.

Trump has told others that he wanted a national security position for Fox Kennedy and that the CIA post was not the only option, said people familiar with the matter who suspect she is likely to be tapped for a position at the White House National Security Council or within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
