Senators: There is a ‘truth deficit’ between the intelligence community and the public

Coverage Type: 

During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) took intelligence officials to task for what Sen Udall called a "truth deficit" between the intelligence community and the American public. Sen Wyden launched his questions by recalling a string of what he believes were "misleading and deceptive statements" made by intelligence officials to Congress and the public. Sen Udall, speaking later, mirrored Wyden's tone while questioning CIA Director John Brennan.
