Washington. Los demócratas reaccionaron con indignación luego que el diario The New York Times revelara este viernes que bajo la presidencia de Donald Trump, el Departamento de Justicia vigilaba en secreto a los legisladores que investigaban una posible colusión del mandatario con Rusia, un abuso de poder sin precedentes, según denunciaron.

Los demócratas Adam Schiff y Eric Swalwell dijeron que Apple les comunicó recientemente que entre el 2017 y el 2021 se le había ordenado a la compañía entregar registros de sus comunicaciones telefónicas, así como de miembros de sus familias, incluido un niño, mientras Trump investigaba filtraciones sobre los vínculos de su campaña electoral del 2016 con Rusia.
