"I'm having my staff look at the transcripts of the debate right now," Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, told reporters. "Any time you deal with numbers... the question is 'is that classified or not' or is there an open source reference to it."
The Texas senator raised
eyebrows during an exchange with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) over the
National Security Agency's surveillance program, when he said that the
old program covered "20 or 30 percent of phone numbers" while the new
program covers roughly 100 percent.
Becca Glover
Watkins, Burr's communications director, suggested on social media that
Cruz might have said something he shouldn't have, though she didn't
specifically reference his comments.
