Rand Paul Wonders if NSA Spies on Obama

Writer's picture: OurStudioOurStudio

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested Thursday that the National Security Agency might have records on President Obama's phone calls.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Paul noted that the NSA has acknowledged that it collects data, such as phone numbers, call times and call durations, on all U.S. phone calls.

"My question is, are they tapping the president's phone, also?" Paul asked on Bloomberg's "Political Capital." "He's got a cellphone … I mean, think about it."

Paul said he was making the comment a "bit facetiously" but that the court orders authorizing the NSA surveillance are "so expansive and without limit and nonspecific that they apply to all cellphones."
