How AT&T Aided the NSA

Ryan Gallagher and Henrik Moltke  discuss their new piece in The Intercept titled, “The Wiretap Rooms: The NSA’s Hidden Spy Hubs in Eight U.S. Cities,” which looks at how AT&T has offered its buildings and facilities to the NSA. The evidence “indicates that the buildings are central to an NSA spying initiative that has for years monitored billions of emails, phone calls, and online chats passing across U.S. territory.”

This segment is guest hosted by Jenna Flanagan.
