CIA Whistleblower Testifies Agency Illegally Monitored Investigators and Seized 40 Boxes of JFK MKUltra Files From DNI Office

CIA senior operations officer James Erdman III testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on May 13 that the CIA illegally monitored computer and phone usage of investigators working under DNI Gabbard authority and seized 40 boxes of JFK and MKUltra files the DNI had been processing for declassification. House Oversight Task Force chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna issued a 24-hour ultimatum for the CIA to return the documents or face a congressional subpoena, accusing the agency of defying a presidential executive order directing full declassification.
