Senator Wyden Statement on End of NSA Phone Records Dragnet

Washington, D.C. –(ENEWSPF)–November 30, 2015.   Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., hailed the end of the National Security Agency’s phone records dragnet, which was officially shut down yesterday, as the result of the USA Freedom Act. Wyden fought for nearly a decade to draw attention to secret interpretations of the Patriot Act that the government used to justify this bulk collection, and then to end this unnecessary program that violated Americans’ privacy.
