'Trump has given unprecedented power to the CIA to expand its killing program and launch drone strikes against targets, drone strikes that have no legal obligation for public disclosure and do not require the the approval of the Pentagon. '
'"Although the CIA never abandoned its role in drone strikes, the agency will now have greater freedom to carry out strikes on its own," Gettinger said. ', "Last November, Motherboard asked how President Trump would handle the legacy of his predecessor's drone program.", "Obama's decision to allow the military to preside over the final call on drone strikes, rather than the CIA, promoted heightened transparency and public disclosure on America's drone operations."
'"In the coming months, we are likely to see a further redefinition of the targeted killing program by the Trump administration."'
