According to a new report released Friday, In the first full year of the Trump administration, the National Security Agency sucked up more than 534 million US phone records. This is three times the amount it collected in 2016.
The report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence revealed that even with the passage of laws in recent years designed to curb the invasive practice, the agency has been undeterred in his pursuit of metadata from phone calls and text messages.
