The U.S. Department of Justice is currently in damage control mode after it surfaced that the DOJ obtained Fox News reporter James Rosen's personal and work phone records, Google emails and tracked his movements to and from the State Department. But that's not all. On Tuesday night, Fox News’ Bret Baier reported that the DOJ also obtained the phone records of Rosen’s parents. Yes, his parents. This has not yet been verified by administration officials.
Additionally, the Justice Department obtained the phone records for at least five different numbers used by Fox News as a part of its leak investigation, the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza reports. Rosen was investigated for his reporting on North Korea’s nuclear program.
U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen, who directed the leak investigation into Rosen, seized the records for at least 30 different phone lines, Lizza writes.
