DeGette Statement on CIA Admission to Spying on Congressional Computers
Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
Today, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (CO-01) issued the following statement after the Central Intelligence Agency admitted to searching a computer system used exclusively by congressional investigators:
"It is appalling to think that the CIA would illegally spy on the United States Congress, especially after Director Brennan made assurances that this did not happen. CIA leadership owes Congress and the American people a full, public accounting of what happened and what is being done to prevent any such actions ever again. Our intelligence agencies must operate within the law and respect the Constitutional separation of powers."
