white house officials have closely tracked the bitter struggle , a mcclatchy investigation has found .
but they haven’t directly intervened , perhaps because they are embroiled in their own feud with the committee , resisting surrendering top - secret documents that the cia asserted were covered by executive privilege and sent to the white house .
— the cia inspector general’s office has asked the justice department to investigate allegations of malfeasance at the spy agency in connection with a yet - to - be released senate intelligence committee report into the cia’s secret detention and interrogation program , mcclatchy has learned .
udall also said was cia 's detention and interrogation program , he will be unable to support advancing caroline krass 's nomination to be cia general counsel .
the people who spoke to mcclatchy asked not to be identified because the feud involves highly classified matters and carries enormous consequences for congressional oversight over the executive branch .
the development marks an unprecedented breakdown in relations between the cia and its congressional overseers amid an extraordinary closed - door battle over the 6,300 - page report on the agency’s use of waterboarding and harsh interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists held in secret overseas prisons .
mark udall , who serves on the committee , said anything less will not set the record straight on this dark chapter of the cia 's history .
caitlin hayden , a spokeswoman for the national security council , declined to discuss the matter and referred questions to the cia and the justice department .
