SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Microsoft sued the U.S. government for demanding access to user emails or online files in secret, saying a provision of a 1986 law that authorities use for such undisclosed searches is unconstitutional.
The lawsuit is the latest clash over privacy rights in the digital age. Law enforcement officials want freedom to view a treasure trove of information — including emails, photos and financial records — that customers are storing on electronic gadgets and in so-called "cloud" computing centers.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A conservative leader in the House warned Republican Party officials on Thursday not to change the rules to allow someone other than Donald Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz to grab the presidential nomination at the GOP convention.
"That would be just a huge mistake," said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who heads the House Freedom Caucus of about three dozen conservatives. "It would be completely wrong, any type of rigging, or a perception that the party hierarchy is trying to influence and change things so that the two guys at the top are denied the nomination."
