Justice Dept halts wiretaps after court ruling
The Justice Department orders a halt to electronic surveillance in domestic security cases after the Supreme Court requires judges to approve wiretaps. Attorney General Kleindienst directs the pause as the department and Congress craft new guidelines, reviewing pending cases to decide whether tainted evidence should be disclosed or charges dismissed. The ruling, written by Justice Powell, held prior judicial approval is required, overturning broader executive arguments.
