DNI Clapper tells Wyden the NSA does not collect data on millions of Americans
Ron Wyden
Senator Ron Wyden asks DNI James Clapper in a March 2013 Senate hearing whether the NSA collects data on millions of Americans, and Clapper answers 'No, sir... not wittingly.' The question became notable after the Snowden revelations later that year.
HN cites it as the key piece of evidence that intelligence officials misled Congress, and as a reported breaking point for Snowden.
