Thune Defends Controversial Funding Clause

Senate Majority Leader John Thune defends a controversial clause in a funding bill, allowing senators to seek damages from the Justice Department for secret surveillance. This comes after the Arctic Frost probe obtained Republican lawmakers records without their knowledge. House Republicans criticize the provision, vowing to remove it, while Thune insists its a Senate-specific solution. The new provision would allow senators to sue the government for improper data use or targeting. The House is set to vote on Wednesday to repeal this provision. The Daily News Now! - Every city.
