But Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, argued that although he does "not agree with some of the views that Congressman Pompeo" holds, he "convinced me that he will follow the law banning torture."

On the Senate floor Monday, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called Pompeo "the wrong man for the job." Wyden has been outspoken in his opposition to Pompeo, along with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
"On issue after issue, the Congressman has taken two, three, or four positions, depending on when he says it and who he is talking to. He has done this with surveillance, with torture, with Russia, and a number of other subjects," Wyden said.
