UPDATE

In another sign of an increasingly secretive White House, the Obama administration has threatened to veto an intelligence-services spending bill because it would increase the number of Congresspeople who would have to be informed of the activities of agencies such as the CIA.

On Wednesday, it emerged that House Intelligence Chairperson Sylvestre Reyes alleged in a letter that the CIA had misinformed Congress on unspecified issues having to do with the spy agency’s activities.
