The CIA and its former Director Mike Pompeo have been sued by a group of journalists and lawyers who claim the agency spied on them when they visited WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange while he was living inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

The lawsuit, which also names Spanish security firm Undercover Global as a defendant, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Aug. 15.
