Washington, August 2 (RHC)-- The CIA has admitted to spying on a computer network used by a U.S. Senate committee investigating the agency’s post-9/11 torture and rendition program.
An internal CIA probe found staff improperly accessed a protected database and read the emails of investigators working on the torture report. The probe validated claims of CIA spying made by Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein and prompted CIA Director John Brennan to issue an apology after he had adamantly denied those claims. A number of senators have called for Brennan to resign.
