Justice Department IG seeks new protections on seizing communications
Posted on 12/10/2024
The Justice Department during Donald Trump’s first presidential term used concerning and surreptitious tactics to obtain communications from members of Congress, their staffers and news reporters as prosecutors investigated public leaks of sensitive government information, according to a report released Tuesday by the agency’s inspector general.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz did not accuse anyone of violating the law, and much of what he addressed had been previously reported. But the report reveals that the number of congressional aides from whom prosecutors sought communications is much larger than previously known.
