Raw Story: White House to be Subpoenaed Over Wiretaps
This just in from the Raw Story:
Two attorneys representing claimants in a lawsuit over wiretapping by the National Security Agency will subpoena the White House today, RAW STORY has learned.
Bruce Afran and Carl Mayer, who represent hundreds of plaintiffs in lawsuits against Verizon, AT&T, and the US Government, will announnce [sic] today that they are serving both the Bush administration and Verizon with subpoenas.
The announcement is due to arrive at 4:30 PM, outside of Verizon headquarters in New York, RAW STORY has confirmed.
The subpoenas come on the heels of two federal court decisions that were seen as blows to the Bush Administration warrantless spying program.
They have the full article posted over here.
While Raw Story seems to be the only ones reporting this right now, it does echo a press release posted an hour ago at Newswire which announces a press event being called in front of the Verizon headquarters in New York City at 4:30 this afternoon.
