Aaron Berman, a 17-year veteran of the CIA who already held a senior position in Facebook's "misinformation" team during the 2020 election, has been promoted to "Head of Elections Policies" at the company now known as Meta.

Berman served at the CIA between March 2002 and July 2019. During that time, he wrote for and edited the President's Daily Brief, an influential top-secret document prepared by the U.S. intelligence community given to the president each morning.

According to Berman's Linkedin, he enjoyed positions of considerable influence at the agency, including "supervising teams of dozens of analysts and with multi-million-dollar budgets," and leading briefings for members of congress and National Security Council members.
