The man in charge will no longer monitor President Joe Biden’s daily briefings.
Morgan Muir will be transferred to a new position within the White House and is now expected to oversee the Senate’s Daily Brief assembly written in his place.
The summary is compiled from various reports from across the information community, but no longer directs the personal messages.
The move comes after it emerged on Saturday that Muir, a former CIA chief analyst, was part of a group that was suing the group over false claims about its torture program to a powerful committee in the United States. the Senate.
Muir was compiling much of what would be a report on the organisation’s torture program in 2013.

An article by BuzzFeedNews referred to Daniel J. Jones, one of the committee’s key employees at the time, who noted how Muir had defended the value of the CIA’s fertility program in private conversations with people. support of the Senate and made false claims.
Jones told the publication that Muir could no longer be trusted to ‘provide accurate information.’
‘I wouldn’t trust it,’ said Jones, with what Muir had said before. ‘There is no place for you in senior positions anymore.’
CIA spokesman Timothy Barrett has described Jones ‘characters as’ baseless ‘and has defended Muir calling him a’ special professional intelligence officer who has the strength of his indecisive character. ‘
A report from the Senate last released in 2014, was a brutal affirmation of the CIA and explained the abuse and torture committed by the group while questioning the suspicion of terrorism in the the years after the terrorist attacks on September 11 along with a pattern of false Congress and the White House about it.
In 2013, Morgan Muir, a former CIA chief analyst, played a leading role and advocated for the CIA’s erroneous claims (pictured) defending its torture program.
The article highlights how, in 2013, there was a remarkable stance between the Senate Intelligence Committee and the CIA in which Muir played a vital role.
After the senate committee found that ‘improved methods of interrogation’ against terror suspects were not effective, Muir led a series of tense meetings in which the CIA attacked the findings.
A 6,700-page report was produced, but Muir continued to defend the value of the torture program and based his views on information that the CIA later admitted was inaccurate.
The 2013 meetings led by Muir continued for a month in the Hart Assembly Office Building, where classified information will be discussed.
Jones recalled how those on both sides of the argument were so far apart that even discussing fundamental facts was a challenge.
‘We used to say,’ Here’s a piece of paper. It’s red. We’ll all see it’s red, ‘Jones said. ‘And they’d say,’ No, it’s blue. ” ‘
Muir continued to defend the CIA’s response to the torture report despite showing a draft of the group’s own records which opposed her claims.

‘He continued to duplicate the false allegations,’ Jones said.
Following the release of the Senate report on torture, the CIA then quietly put up a three – page series of corrections but it was almost a year before the Senate Intelligence Committee and the public even learned that he was there.
With Muir now working in the Biden White House, former Democratic senator Mark Udall also spoke about Muir ‘s suitability to compile intelligence reports for the president.
‘President Biden has built up a strong national security team, but he should have serious concerns about trusting the president’s daily meeting to anyone who may be has helped to cover this dark chapter in the history of our country, ‘Udall wrote in a statement.
‘I can stress the need for intelligence agencies to provide impartial, factual and honest information to the president and other leaders. As we now know, the CIA and its leadership have deceived the public, senators, and Senate staff for years about the CIA’s systematic and brutal torture of detainees. ‘
Following the publication of BuzzFeed’s article, officials pointed out that Muir’s interaction with the Senate committee had nothing to do with the decision to change how and with whom Biden was receiving information.
‘Morgan Muir is a well-respected information officer who has demonstrated the highest levels of integrity and professionalism throughout her career,’ said Amanda J. Schoch, a spokeswoman for the Office of the Director of National Information. to the New York Times.
‘He’s not a President’s briefer because that term is generally understood, and there are no plans for him to be in the oval.’
