Trump to keep torture records secret

The Trump Administration will keep secret scores of records pertaining to the government’s relationship between the CIA and two former Spokane psychologists who were the architects of controversial torture techniques used against terrorism suspects.

Those records had been sought by attorneys defending Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell against lawsuits. The pair were hired by the CIA to develop “enhanced interrogation technique” that included torture and waterboarding.

The ACLU filed the lawsuit on behalf of three men who claimed they were tortured by U.S. agents and the psychologists.
