The Obama Justice Department seized the phone records of White House staffers and Fox News reporters, according to a document obtained by The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza. Lawyers for Justice Department seized phone records from two staffers at the White House and five Fox News reporters, bringing the total to 30 people overall. The seizures came in the case against Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, a State department contractor the government has charged with violating the Espionage Act by leaking information to Fox News reporter James Rosen. Earlier, while investigating the leak, the Justice Department had seized emails from Rosen's personal Gmail account and "call detail" from his work and cell phones.
