WASHINGTON – Former CIA director Michael Hayden was hospitalized after suffering a stroke at the beginning of the week.
A statement released Friday by Hayden's family says that he "is receiving specialized medical care".
Hayden, 73 years old and retired Air Force General, led the CIA under President George W. Bush from 2006 to early 2009. He was also director of National Security Agency from 1999 to 2005.
He is currently a visiting professor at George Mason University, Virginia, where he founded the Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy and International Security.
He also works as a national security analyst at CNN, where he has often criticized President Donald Trump. He published this year a book titled "The Assault on Intelligence: US National Security in the Age of Lying".
