EFF Fights Potential Evidence Destruction in NSA Spying Cases
EFF is fighting to get to the bottom of disturbing new government claims that seem to indicate that it has been destroying records of their ongoing mass surveillance despite a court order. This is part of our longstanding case against illegal NSA spying, Jewel v. NSA, but also has implications for our First Amendment-focused case, First Unitarian Church v. NSA. After an emergency hearing this week, the judge in the case issued an evidence preservation order in First Unitarian. On top of that, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court is demanding answers from the government about its behavior in not telling it about the Jewel v. NSA preservation order. The question of whether the government improperly destroyed evidence so far will be briefed over the next several weeks.
