It was previously revealed in 2021 that the Department of Justice under President Trump subpoenaed Apple for data concerning at least two House Democrats, their aides and families, in an investigation into alleged leaking of information. Now a report from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) says the DOJ’s demands were issued without the required legal authorization.
The full OIG report also says that the DOJ did not have authorization for the gag orders that it imposed on both Apple and Google. It also reveals that the scope of the demands was wider than previously known, with the DOJ issuing 40 non-disclosure orders (NDOs) to the two companies.
