Senate Republicans on Thursday authorized a key committee chairman to issue a wide range of subpoenas as part of an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe and allegations of wrongdoing by top Obama administration officials.
Unmasking refers to the common practice by national security officials to reveal the identity of individuals involved in conversations subject to surveillance by the government. The measures authorize both chairmen to issue subpoenas to several executive branch agencies and departments, in addition to a slew of high-level Obama administration officials including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan.
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat, said the subpoena authorization Graham is seeking was unprecedented and would give him “unbridled authority to go after Obama-era officials” in pursuit of “politically motivated investigations.” The Judiciary Committee’s meeting became heated as senators went back and forth over the merits of the GOP-led probe. At one point, Sen. Ben Sasse interjected and urged a swift committee vote.
