CIA analyst says he can’t serve under President Trump

A longtime CIA analyst says he resigned from the agency last week because he ‘‘cannot in good faith’’ serve the administration of President Donald Trump.

Edward Price writes in an opinion piece for the Washington Post published online Monday that Trump’s campaign rhetoric combined with some of his initial moves in the White House led to his decision.

Price specifically criticizes Trump’s speech in front of a memorial wall at CIA headquarters the day after taking office in which he defended the size of his inauguration crowd. He also cites Trump’s reorganization of the National Security Council last month, which has been seen as a downgrade in influence for intelligence officials.

Price worked at the CIA since 2006. He was also a staffer at the NSC from 2014 to earlier this year.
