Waterboarding, Other CIA Torture Tactics Under Trump: Ongoing Lawsuit Threatens Trump's 'Worse Than' Waterboarding Plan

The case filed in October 2015 by two former detainees and the representative of a third who died in custody, being heard in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Washington, concerns two defendants – James Elmer Mitchell and John “Bruce” Jessen – who were psychologists hired by the CIA to create and execute an enhanced interrogation program at an overseas CIA facility.
