Senate today confirmed President Donald Trump's pick to be the CIA's top lawyer. The bipartisan vote for Courtney Simmons Elwood, a former Supreme Court clerk and lawyer in President George W. Bush's administration, was 67-33. <br/><br/>During her confirmation hearing in April, Elwood was questioned about the CIA's former program to harshly interrogate terror suspects. She reassured lawmakers who worry Trump will want to resurrect the program that doing so would take a change in US law. <br/><br/>She also faced questions about surveillance programs, the use of contractors and the Senate intelligence committee's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.<br/>
