By Sam Combest —

CIA Director Gina Haspel spoke to a packed Bigelow Hall Monday as the first speaker of the McConnell Center Distinguished Speaker Series. She recounted her career up to her controversial appointment as a dozen protestors assembled outside.

Haspel was the 52nd speaker for the McConnell Center. She follows previous high profile officials like U.S Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer in Feb. 2018, U.S Supreme Court Justice Niel Gorsuch in Sept. 2017, and U.S Senator Marco Rubio in March 2013.
