In a letter to President Barack Obama, the seven — Michael Hayden and Porter Goss, who served under President George W. Bush; George Tenet (Bush and Clinton administrations); John Deutch and R. James Woolsey (Clinton administration); William Webster (Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations), and James R. Schlesinger (Nixon administration) – asked that the investigation be dropped.
The current CIA director, Leon Panetta, earlier voiced similar opposition to Holder’s probe.
