Nunes: Members of Congress Have Been Caught up in Unwarranted Surveillance

‘Over the course of the last year, we had a concern about members of Congress who were caught up in incidental collection’

EXCERPT:

NUNES: "As you probably -- some of you may remember, over the course of the last year, we had a concern about members of Congress who were caught up in incidental collection, the story came out publicly in the 'Wall Street Journal' regarding, I think it was involving the Israelis. And then we went through a whole year-long process working with the IC to ensure that when congressional identities are -- are picked up in incidental collection that we, the Gang of -- the Gang of 8, are notified, of that happening. And so, I kind of refer you back to that. That was a process that we -- that had to be cleaned up. Because clearly, there was, you know -- you know, clearly people knew who the members of Congress were likely that were in these, but they weren't being unmasked. We weren't being notified, that's a problem."
