Lee Cosponsors Government Surveillance Transparency Act

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Mike Lee cosponsored the Government Surveillance Transparency Act to require public reporting and notice of the hundreds of thousands of criminal surveillance orders issued by courts each year. These orders are typically sealed indefinitely, keeping government surveillance hidden for years, even when the targets are never charged with any crime.
