Former U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power pushed back on reports of her
frequent "unmasking" requests in 2016 during the presidential campaign,
calling them "completely false."
Samantha Power unmasked over 260 persons in her last year as U.S.
ambassador to the United Nations in an attempt to uncover associates of
President Trump. She “was ‘unmasking’ at such a rapid pace in the
final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one
request for every working day in 2016.”
The
National Security Council informed Judicial Watch that the materials
regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice of
“the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump
presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama
Library.
Judicial Watch released 90 pages of heavily redacted
Department of State documents showing Obama officials’ efforts to
disseminate classified information to multiple U.S.
Senators immediately prior to President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
