Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign manager and daughter-in-law, is seeking the CIA deputy director position. Her CIA experience, detailed in her memoir, makes her a strong candidate. The position doesn't require Senate confirmation, adding to its appeal. President-elect Trump plans to restructure intelligence agencies and has already appointed John Ratcliffe to lead the CIA. Competition for the deputy director role is fierce, with other contenders vying for the high-profile position. Fox Kennedy's memoir, published without CIA approval, caused controversy within the agency. She managed Kennedy's presidential campaign before he suspended it and endorsed Trump. Trump subsequently nominated Kennedy for a cabinet position. Fox Kennedy's pursuit of the CIA post is currently ongoing, with no official confirmation yet. The Trump transition team declined to comment on the matter.
