A security unit tasked with assessing threats against the U.S. Department of Commerce used counterintelligence tools to gather information about U.S. citizens and foreign visitors to the United States, unauthorised surveillance that included the monitoring of Americans’ Twitter accounts for comments critical of the government, according to a senior Republican in the U.S. Senate.
Ahead of a forthcoming report said to detail allegations of “improper activities dating back to the mid-2000s” by the Commerce Department’s Investigations and Threat Management Service (ITMS), Sen. Roger Wicker said Monday that government whistleblowers had reported a variety of abuses, including reprisals against Department employees.
