EXCLUSIVE: While President-elect Joe Biden has yet to announce his pick for CIA director, an array of names has been highlighted, and among them is Darrell M. Blocker -- one of the highest-serving persons of color to have served in the clandestine service, Fox News has learned.
According to a source familiar with the talks, the 32-year U.S. intelligence community veteran -- who retired in 2018 -- was approached about the position days after the election, with discussions ongoing.
The appointment, if announced and confirmed, would mark the first Black person to hold the esteemed intelligence position.
Blocker was awarded the Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal upon his departure, having served four years as an Air Force analyst and an additional 28 as an operations officer in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), including nine within the executive ranks of the Senior Intelligence Service, including as chief of station and chief of Africa Division, per his official bio.
