HeadlineAug 01, 2014

The CIA has admitted to spying on a computer network used by a Senate committee investigating the agency’s post-9/11 torture and rendition program. An internal CIA probe found staff improperly accessed a protected database and read the emails of investigators working on the torture report.

A number of senators have called for Brennan to resign. We’ll have more on the story after headlines.
