(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a case that could reveal new details about CIA detention facilities in foreign countries.
Last year, the Trump administration urged the Supreme Court to review a 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision that rejected the government’s request to keep secret certain details of the CIA’s activity, including the location of former CIA detention facilities. On Monday, the justices agreed to hear that case.
