Suspected Congressional Leakers Were Secretly Being Investigated by the DOJ All Along

(Source: Epoch Times)

Two prominent Democrat politicians who sit on the House Intelligence Committee have alerted the news media that they were informed by the Apple corporation back on May 5 that their phone records had been targeted by a subpoena issued by a grand jury as part of a federal investigation into criminal leaking of classified material.

Apple said in a released statement that a non-disclosure order from a federal judge prevented them for more than three years from alerting any of the affected phone and email accounts that their records had been accessed by the federal grand jury.

Both Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) stated in media interviews how shocked they were to discover that that federal prosecutors would even think of allowing a grand jury to subpoena their private phone data. Both men professed outrage at the invasion of their privacy, and congressional Democrats are now angrily calling for former Attorney Generals Jeff Sessions and William Barr to be brought in to answer questions, along with former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
