US Justice Dept. mulls stronger policies to obtain lawmakers' records

US Attorney-General Merrick Garland said on Monday his department is evaluating and strengthening its policies for obtaining records from the legislative branch, after revelations that former president Donald Trump's Justice Department had secretly obtained the phone records of members of Congress.
Garland has also asked the Justice Department's independent inspector general to investigate the accounts and said that if "action related to the matter in question is warranted, I will not hesitate to move swiftly."
