The Honorable Jeff Sessions
Attorney General of the United States
Department of Justice
Washington, DC 20530
Dear Attorney General Sessions:
‘As we prepare for the upcoming nomination hearing of Ms. Gina Haspel for
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), I write to formally request a
copy of former Assistant U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation report into
the destruction of interrogation videotapes by the CIA (known as the Durham.
Report).
In light of the CIA’s decision to release the internal investigation into the
destruction of interrogation videotapes by former CIA Acting Director Michael
Morell (known as the Morell Report), I believe that the Durham Report would be
helpful to understand Ms. Haspel’s role. The Morell Report relies heavily on the
conclusions reached by Assistant U.S. Attomey Durham. To the extent this
material is classified or contains Personally Identifiable Information, the
committee handles this material as specified by law and regulation.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Mk R Wenez
Mark R. Warner
Vice Chairman

Deputy Director
Central Intelligence Agency
