参议员现在可以向政府起诉$500K+ $500K+ 如果他们的电话记录被传票时没有事先通知,可以追溯到2022年。 Senators can now sue the government for $500K+ if their phone records are subpoenaed without notice, retroactive to 2022.

2026财政年度拨款法案中的一项新规定允许美国参议员在其电话记录未经通知被传讯,可追溯至2022年时,每次违规至少起诉联邦政府500 000美元。 A new provision in the FY2026 appropriations bill allows U.S. senators to sue the federal government for at least $500,000 per violation if their phone records are subpoenaed without notice, retroactive to 2022. 这项措施得到参议员John Thune的支持和八名民主党的支持,回应了联邦调查局在Jack Smith对推翻2020年选举的努力进行调查期间没收共和党参议员的数据。 The measure, backed by Senator John Thune and supported by eight Democrats, responds to the FBI’s seizure of data from Republican senators during Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. 它要求在提出数据要求时通知参议员办公室,即使法院命令要求保密。 It mandates notification of senators’ offices when data requests are made, even if court orders require secrecy. 批评者认为这破坏了执法,给予政治豁免,在持续的财政紧张中浪费纳税人资金。 Critics argue it undermines law enforcement, grants political immunity, and wastes taxpayer funds amid ongoing fiscal strain. 该法案旨在结束政府最长的停业,通过参议院,并正面临众议院的批准,对党派影响和削弱监督表示关切。 The bill, aimed at ending the longest government shutdown, passed the Senate and faces House approval, with concerns over partisan implications and weakened oversight.
