Feinstein Statement on Haspel Records

Statement

Date: April 20, 2018
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Government Operations

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released the following statement in reaction to the CIA's selective declassification of records related to Gina Haspel's involvement in the torture program:

"It's completely unacceptable for the CIA to declassify only material that's favorable to Gina Haspel, while at the same time stonewalling our efforts to declassify all documents related her involvement in the torture program.

"The CIA has not been forthcoming, and Senators Wyden, Heinrich and I have again asked for declassification of relevant documents. All told there have been at least five requests for more information, but so far none has been provided. Senators and the public need to know more about her record."
