The National Security Agency says it
needs to hold
Americans’ phone records for longer than the law currently allows so they can be used as evidence in the many privacy lawsuits the agency is now facing for holding Americans phone records.
Under current law, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court often gives the NSA permission to vacuum up phone records on the condition the spy agency deletes the records after five years, National Journal reports. The Justice Department argued in a court filing Wednesday that it needs to hold records—including call times, phone numbers, and call duration—longer than five years in case they are needed as evidence.
“The United States must ensure that all potentially relevant evidence is retained,” the filing says.
