Apple: Blindsided, Handcuffed By Trump Administration Demand For Swalwell Data
Seeking to protect its image as a guardian of personal privacy, Apple maintains it was blindsided and handcuffed by a Trump administration probe that resulted in the company handing over phone data from California Democratic congressmen Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff.
The Justice Department was able to persuade a federal grand jury to issue a subpoena that culminated in Apple turning over the metadata — information that can include general records of calls and texts — about House Intelligence Committee members Schiff and Swalwell during 2018.
