Court Again Orders Government Not to Destroy Evidence in NSA Spying Case
Judge Requires Explanation by Friday About Whether Government Is Still Destroying Evidence Despite Court Order
June 5, 2014: San Francisco - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) asked a judge today to schedule an emergency hearing,
after learning that the government is apparently still destroying evidence of NSA spying despite a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by the court in March. In an order issued in response this afternoon, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White instructed the government not to destroy any more materials and file a brief responding to EFF's allegations by 12 p.m PT on Friday.
"In communications with the government this week,
EFF was surprised to learn that the government has been continuing to destroy evidence relating to the mass interception of Internet communications it is conducting under section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act even though the court explicitly ordered it to stop in March," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "
Specifically, the government is destroying content gathered through tapping into the fiberoptic cables of AT&T."

Emergency Hearing Today at 2 p.m. PT in NSA Spying Case
June 6, 2014: EFF Told Court Yesterday Government Still Destroying Evidence Despite Court Order
Oakland, CA - A federal judge today ordered an emergency hearing today at 2 p.m. PT
after EFF learned that the government is apparently still destroying evidence of NSA spying despite a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by the court in March.
Yesterday afternoon, EFF filed an emergency motion with U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White, explaining that communications with government lawyers over the last week had revealed that the government has continued to destroy evidence relating to the mass interception of Internet communications it is conducting under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act. The judge responded less than two hours later, reiterating that his TRO was still in place and continues to prohibit the destruction of evidence collected under Section 702.
Late Thursday evening, the government filed papers with the court, claiming that compliance with the preservation order that has been in effect since March "would cause severe operational consequences" for the NSA, "including the possible suspension of the Section 702" program.
