The number of FBI searches of a vast foreign intelligence repository for information about Americans and people in the United States plummeted over the last year from the prior 12 months, according to a U.S. government report released Tuesday
. The release of the annual report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence comes more than a week after a bitterly divided Congress voted to reauthorize a surveillance program that administration officials say is crucial for national security but that civil liberties advocates say results in privacy abuses of Americans. The program, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, permits the U.S.
FBI officials say they've made significant reforms to minimize those violations, and after days of debate last month, the Senate approved by a 60-34 vote a two-year extension of the program. President Joe Biden subsequently signed it into law. The report released Tuesday shows that the number of so-called U.S. person queries fell from 119,383 between December 2021 and November 2021 to 57,094.
