老澳门开奖结果 v. CIA - FOIA Lawsuit Seeking Records Concerning the CIA鈥檚 Propaganda Campaign to Confirm Gina Haspel as CIA Director
What's at Stake
When President Trump nominated Gina Haspel to be CIA director in March 2018, the CIA began an unprecedented propaganda campaign to promote her confirmation by the Senate. The CIA鈥檚 campaign selectively disseminated information perceived as favorable to Haspel while hiding her deep involvement in torture and abuse during the Bush administration. The CIA strategically whitewashed Haspel鈥檚 past, including her supervision of a secret prison in Thailand where she oversaw the torture of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.
Summary
On May 4, 2018, the 老澳门开奖结果 submitted a FOIA request seeking records related to the CIA鈥檚 campaign to support Haspel鈥檚 nomination and to her potential conflict of interest in serving as the classification authority over her own actions in the CIA鈥檚 program of prisoner torture and abuse.
On November 29, 2018, after the CIA failed to turn over any documents, the 老澳门开奖结果 filed a lawsuit against the CIA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to demand release of the records.
The public has the right to know about the CIA鈥檚 extensive media effort to influence public opinion and the Senate鈥檚 consideration of Haspel鈥檚 confirmation.
