发帖数: 653 | 1 President Trump on Thursday directly accused the Obama Administration of
improperly surveilling the American people, a day after Congressional
subpoenas were issued seeking records from U.S. spy agencies about Obama
officials’ requests.
The CIA, NSA and FBI were served with subpoenas Wednesday afternoon for
documents relating to former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice, ex-
CIA director John Brennan and former U.N. ambassador Samantha Power. The
subpoenas, signed by House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes,
R-Ca., explicitly referenced the “unmasking” of U.S. citizens.
“The big story is the ‘unmasking and surveillance’ of people that took
place during the Obama Administration,” Trump tweeted.
The inclusion of Power’s name on the subpoenas marks her first appearance
in the controversy surrounding the Obama administration’s use of unmasking.
Capitol Hill sources told Fox News they are devoting increasing scrutiny to
Power – a former historian and winner of the Pulitzer Prize who worked as
a foreign policy adviser in the Senate office of Barack Obama before joining
his administration – because they have come to see her role in the
unmasking as larger than previously known, and eclipsing those of the other
former officials named.
Rice has previously denied any improper activity in her use of unmasking. “
The allegation is somehow Obama administration officials utilized
intelligence for political purposes, that's absolutely false,” Rice told
MSNBC on April 4. President Trump said at that time that he personally
believed Rice had committed a crime.
None of those named on the subpoenas has been formally accused of wrongdoing
