U.S. intelligence head: CIA did not pull officers from Beijing after OPM hack

The CIA did not pull officers from Beijing in the wake of the Chinese hack of millions of sensitive personnel records disclosed earlier this year, the nation’s top intelligence official said Monday.
Asked at a Defense One national security conference whether CIA officers were removed from Beijing, Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. said “No.”
...The Washington Post, citing current and former U.S. officials, reported in September that the agency had pulled officers as a precautionary move. A CIA spokesman declined to comment Monday. Chinese government hackers last year compromised two databases housed by the Office of Personnel Management, one of which contained sensitive personal details collected during security-clearance investigations for millions of federal employees.
