The Senate Armed Services Committee’s ranking member will launch an
investigation into the Obama administration’s potentially illegal
surveillance of U.S. citizens following revelations that the National
Security Administration (NSA) violated legal boundaries imposed by
Congress.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that the NSA “overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008.”
Many of these legal violations involved the “unauthorized” surveillance of American citizens in the United States, according to the Post’s report.
Sen. James Inhofe (R., Okla.) said on Saturday that he will now “work to investigate as to what laws were broken by the Administration,” according to a statement provided to the Free Beacon.
