Democratic Senators Give Cryptic Warning About CIA Activities
HuffPost
Ron Wyden has previously warned about spy abuses before they were public. Now he and Mark Warner say something else is up.
WASHINGTON ― Two senior members of the Senate Intelligence Committee are warning they know about potential misconduct by the Central Intelligence Agency, but they can’t say what it is.
In a public letter to CIA director John Ratcliffe, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) revealed on Wednesday he’d sent another letter, apparently classified, expressing alarm about something the agency is doing.
“I write to alert you to a classified letter I sent you earlier today, in which I express deep concerns about CIA activities,” Wyden said in the letter, which his office released Wednesday afternoon. “Thank you for your attention to this important matter.”
That’s all the letter says.
Wyden previously delivered cryptic warnings about the CIA’s sister agency, the National Security Agency.
