The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on reauthorizing the USA Freedom Act, which bans the bulk collection of private records. Among the witnesses testifying were officials from the FBI, Justice Department and National Security Agency. The USA Freedom Act, enacted in June 2015, extended several expiring government surveillance provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act including the roving wiretap, business records and lone wolf provisions. Intelligence officials called on Congress to renew the NSA’s call records program, which gathers information on incoming and outgoing domestic text messages and phone calls to aid the government during terrorism investigations. close
