Report: Justice Dept. Tracked Fox News, White House Phone Lines 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
New disclosures show government spying on a Fox News reporter may have
ensnared the network's other employees. The Justice Department tracked
Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal phone records and emails
after he obtained details of a secret government report in 2009 on North
Korea. The government has named Rosen a potential "aider, abettor and/or
co-conspirator" in its case against Rosen’s alleged source, State
Department security adviser Stephen Jin-Woo Kim. The New Yorker now
reports that in its probe of Rosen and Kim, the government seized more
than 30 phone records, including a phone line at Fox News' Washington
Bureau that could have been used by multiple people. A White House phone
number was also included in the probe.
