CIA Admits Spying on Senate Committee

July 31, 2014 at 1:49 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“An internal investigation by the Central Intelligence Agency has found that its officers improperly penetrated a computer network used by the Senate Intelligence Committee in preparing its report on the C.I.A.’s detention and interrogation program,” the New York Times reports.

Washington Post: “The admission from the CIA was in sharp contrast to the defiant position that Brennan had taken when the dispute first surfaced publicly in March. At the time, Brennan warned that lawmakers would regret accusing the agency of wrongdoing.”
