US Court-Sanctioned Wiretaps Skyrocketed in Trump’s First Year
Court-authorized wiretap operations against US citizens increased a whopping 30 percent during Donald Trump’s first year as president, official US records show.
There were 30 percent more court-authorized wiretaps in 2017 compared with 2016, according to a judiciary report filed June 30 with the US Courts' Administrative Office. The revelation is "the latest indicator sign" of how the Trump administration "is shifting our government from facilitating a healthy state into something closer to a police state," Pulitzer prize-winning investigative journalist David Cay Johnston wrote last week.
