Sen. Ron Wyden Exposes Trump’s Warrantless Surveillance

Senator Ron Wyden joins Corey Brettschneider for a one-on-one conversation about warrantless searches of Americans’ communications, the secrecy of the FISA Court, and the urgent need to reform Section 702. They also discuss the Trump Justice Department’s subpoenas of New York Times reporters, Jay Clayton’s nomination to lead the nation’s intelligence apparatus, and whether officials who target journalists can be trusted with extraordinary surveillance powers. Plus, Corey and John Fugelsang examine Trump’s escalating war on the press—and how the government’s vast spying machinery can be turned against Americans.
