CIA guilty of mishandling internal sexual assault cases, bombshell House report says

A bombshell new congressional report is accusing the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of severely mishandling incidents of sexual assault and harassment within its own ranks.

Republicans and Democrats on the House of Representatives’ Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have been investigating the CIA’s handling of such cases after a whistleblower came forward in January 2023 to say they had been "physically attacked and sexually assaulted at CIA headquarters" by a fellow officer, according to the report.
