Democratic senator raises ‘deep concerns’ over classified CIA activities
Senator Wyden publicly urges CIA Director Ratcliffe to respond amid classified concerns linked to a whistleblower complaint involving Tulsi Gabbard, increasing oversight scrutiny.
- On Wednesday, Senator Ron Wyden sent a brief public letter to CIA Director John Ratcliffe urging a reply, and his office released it publicly to bypass classified channels.
- Sen. Ron Wyden said he wrote the classified letter because he has deep concerns about CIA activities and posted the note to create a public paper trail.
- A CIA spokesperson did not immediately respond, and Sen. Ron Wyden declined to explain the letter in a brief Thursday interview, citing classification.
- The public release has prompted alarm and speculation, including ties to a whistleblower complaint, as Wyden's note coincides with reports the administration delayed action on a complaint tied to Tulsi Gabbard.
- Wyden's history of cryptic warnings recalls prior intelligence controversies, including his past alerts about the National Security Agency and Edward Snowden's revelations that led to a federal court ruling.
