The US State Department is going to release memos proving that illegal monitoring of the social media accounts of 13 prominent American citizens occurred last year.
According to Fox News contributor John Solomon, the US State Department is going to release memos proving that illegal monitoring of the social media accounts of 13 prominent American citizens occurred last year.
The memos will be turned over, pursuant to the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, to a watchdog group called Judicial Watch.
It is highly suspected that this will reveal how many Americans such as Donald Trump Jr, Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs and Laura Ingraham were spied on by diplomats in the American Embassy in Kiev, Ukraine, including Marie Yovanovitch, who was the ambassador at the time.
According to multiple sources, other people possibly to be revealed as having been targeted by these measures include Tom Fitton (the president of Judicial Watch), Jack Posobiec of One America News, Dan Bongino and Sara Carter (who both work for Fox News), and Seb Gorka, a former White House policy advisor.
It’s also possible that John Solomon himself was one of the people targeted for illegal surveillance.
The embassy claims that they were unaware of any wrongdoing, and that they ceased their online monitoring activities when they were advised that they were “barred by federal law,” and requested training from the State Department.
