CBS journalist sues Justice Department for spying
A former CBS journalist is suing the Justice Department, the United States Postal Service and several federal employees for allegedly hacking her computers while she investigated stories critical of the Obama Administration.
Sharyl Attkisson, a former veteran CBS News correspondent, alleges in a legal complaint that three separate computer forensic exams showed hackers used sophisticated methods to monitor her work between 2011 and 2013. During that period, Attkisson was investigating a gun-trafficking story involving federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms improperly permitting weapons to be purchased by Mexican drug cartels, a case which came to be known as “Fast and Furious.”
She was also investigating the controversial attack on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. In her lawsuit, she states her First and Fourth Amendment constitutional rights were violated, and that she is seeking damages.
