Justice Dept Defends Wiretapping Procedure
The Justice Department argues only the president and attorney general hold necessary information to approve domestic wiretaps. Filed papers in Chicago defend electronic surveillance as crucial for national security, citing the Weatherman case involving Judith Clark. The department says surveillance aims to gather intelligence to prevent irreparable damage, not to secure criminal convictions. An Ally. Gen. Mitchell acknowledged approving Clark’s tap at FBI Hoover’s request, noting it targeted a frequently used line. The key issue is whether federal courts must approve wiretaps upon request.
