Avril Haines, a former legal adviser to the National Security Council who moved to the number two slot at the CIA, is returning to the White House as deputy national security adviser.
"A model public servant, Avril is respected across the government for her intelligence, work ethic, and humility, which she has displayed in positions spanning the three branches of government," President Obama said in announcing the appointment.
"I have the utmost trust and confidence in Avril, and I know she will continue to play a critical role in my Administration's efforts to keep our nation secure and promote American interests and values around the world," Obama said.
