The chairwoman of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee accused the Central Intelligence Agency on Tuesday of inappropriately searching the committee's
computers as the panel investigated the CIA's detention and interrogation program
Speaking on the Senate
floor, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said CIA Director John Brennan told her in January
that agency personnel searched the computers because of a belief that the panel
might have had access to an internal review of the matter.
"The CIA did not
ask the committee or its staff if the committee had access to the internal
review or how we obtained it. Instead, the CIA just went and searched the
committee's computer," she said. "... I have grave concerns that the
CIA search may have ... violated the separation of powers principles embodied
in the United States Constitution."
