'That's What Judge Boasberg Signed Off On': Ted Cruz Rails Against DC Judge

Published | Video Starts at 00:40

It's completely inconsistent. Judge Boasberg signed multiple orders. I'm holding one of them in my hand. That's his signature at the bottom. Ordering the phone companies who had been subpoenaed not to disclose to the members of the Senate and the members of the House that their phone records had been subpoenaed. As you noted in your testimony, that order is directly contrary to federal statute. Congress in 2004 made it illegal for a phone company to disclose a senator's phone records without notifying the senator in question. (00:40–00:48)

CLAIM

Asserts that Judge Boasberg ordered phone companies not to disclose to Congress members that their records were subpoenaed.
