Senators demand release of secret Section 702 surveillance ruling
WIRED reports Wyden and Schiff say the administration missed its September deadline to publicly release the court’s findings.
TLDR
WIRED reports Senators Ron Wyden and Adam Schiff accuse the Trump administration of illegally withholding a March court ruling from public release as Congress debates renewing Section 702. The court approved another year of surveillance but objected to filters that let agents read Americans’ messages without a warrant. The senators want an explanation for the delay and the names of responsible officials by November 6. Twenty-three civil liberties and accountability groups urged Congress not to renew the program while the findings remain unpublished.
