President Trump may bring back so-called CIA “black site” prisons where terrorism suspects are held and were once tortured.
President George W. Bush used the black sites to combat the “war on terrorism” following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, but former President Barack Obama closed them.
In the next few days, Trump is expected to sign an executive executive order to call for a high-level review into “whether to reinitiate a program of interrogation of high-value alien terrorists to be operated outside the United States” and if the CIA should run the facilities, Reuters reports.
The information comes from a copy of a draft published by the Washington Post.
But Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said the document did not come from the White House.
House Speaker Paul Ryan agreed.
“My understanding is this was written by somebody who worked on the transition before who’s not in the Trump administration. This is not a product of the administration,” Ryan said in an interview with MSNBC.
