"Biden Taps CIA Director Burns for Cabinet Role"

TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden has announced that he has asked CIA Director William Burns to join his cabinet, recognizing Burns' expertise in national security and foreign policy. The move is largely symbolic and does not grant Burns any new authorities. Burns' appointment reflects Biden's confidence in his leadership and career experience, particularly in dealing with challenges posed by Russia and China. This is not the first time a CIA director has been given cabinet status, as former President Bill Clinton also included his CIA directors in his cabinet.
