House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner criticized the Department of Justice for secretly obtaining phone records of Congress members and staff, calling it a serious constitutional violation.
Turner emphasized that these actions by the Justice Department were carried out without any court approval, fundamentally undermining the constitutional rights of the affected individuals, including Congress members.
He stated, 'This report lays out outrageous behavior...where members of Congress had their phone and email records accessed without court review, breaching their constitutional authorities.'
Turner called for legislative remedies, expressing the need for accountability and transparency in how the Department of Justice conducts such investigations involving Congress.
