Reporter whose communications were secretly seized on by Trump White House says it happened under Obama too
CBSN
Four New York Times reporters had their phone records secretly seized by the Trump administration. But while similar reports from CNN and the Washington Post are seemingly uncovering the extent to which former President Trump used the administration to keep tabs on journalists, one of the four journalists says the moves are part of a "bipartisan pattern."
"It happened in the Obama administration as well, which is why frankly I was angry but not surprised," White House reporter Matt Apuzzo said on CBSN Monday. "This U.S. Attorney's office in Washington has a history of just steamrolling the First Amendment." He compared it to tactics used by "prosecutors trying to break up a drug ring."More Related News
