One official told CBS News that much of the applause had come from the roughly 40 people who had been brought by Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and Mike Pompeo, Trump’s nominee to lead the spy agency. According to the official, the senior C.I.A. leaders in attendance withheld their applause, particularly as Trump launched an attack on the “dishonest media” over the reporting of his inauguration crowd size. The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler made a similar claim on Twitter, writing that “the folks in the front apparently didn’t react until the end.” NBC’s Katie Tur noted that “senior leadership remained stoic, and did not applaud the more political lines.”
