American citizens' domestic phone calls and text messages resulted in only
one investigation between 2015 and 2019 despite costing $100 million, a
newly declassified study found. The report, which was produced by the
Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board and briefed to Congress on
Tuesday, also found that the program only yielded information the FBI did
not already have on two occasions during that four-year period.
"Based on one report, F.B.I. vetted an individual, but, after vetting,
determined that no further action was warranted," the report said, according
to The New York Times. "The second report provided unique information about
a telephone number, previously known to U.S. authorities, which led to the
opening of a foreign intelligence investigation." The report contains no
further details of the investigation in question or its outcome. The USA
Freedom Act of 2015, the law that authorized the program, is set to expire
March 15, but the Trump administration has asked Congress to extend it. The
House Judiciary Committee is set to consider a bill that would end the
program's authorization on Wednesday." |
