U.S. law enforcement requested information from more than 18,000 Apple accounts in the first half of 2020, nearly seven times higher than the same time period in 2015.
The subpoena, issued February 6, 2018, requested information on 73 phone numbers and 36 email addresses, Apple said. It also included a nondisclosure order that prohibited the company from notifying any of the people, and it was renewed three times, the company said in a statement.
Although Apple says it contests legal requests that it believes are unfounded, the company challenged or rejected just 7% of the U.S. demands it received during the 2018 period when it received the subpoena for the information about Schiff and Swalwell. Apple was even less combative during the first half of last year, challenging just 4 percent of the U.S. legal requests.
In addition, Monaco has been separately tasked with"surfacing problematic matters deserving high level review," Garland said.emphasized in his statement Monday that"political or other improper considerations must play no role in any investigative or prosecutorial decisions." He had planned for weeks to leave the department by the end of June, a second person familiar with the matter said. The two could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP on the condition of anonymity.
