Levi Rejects Broad Court Oversight of FBI Probes
Attorney General Edward Levi told a House Judiciary subcommittee that court warrants for nearly every investigation would slow enforcement and resemble an inquisitorial system. He blamed the White House for improper FBI use and cited past instances involving staffers acting in the President’s name. The CIA and press relations were also under review as lawmakers urged limits on free lance journalism tied to U.S. spy work.
