Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) on Friday praised Donald Trump's decision hours earlier to pick Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) to be the next CIA director, calling Pompeo "bright" and a "solid pick."

MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell asked Schiff, who works alongside Pompeo on the House Intelligence Committee as its ranking member, what he thought about the Kansas lawmaker's ability to serve as CIA director if he is confirmed by the Senate.
