Sessions Demands Tech Companies Turn Over Encrypted Communications
------------------------------------------------------------------

In the wake of the New York City attack, Attorney General Jeff Sessions
is escalating pressure on technology companies to turn over encrypted
communications to law enforcement. Sessions claimed, without evidence,
that refusing to turn over the encrypted communications could have
"deadly consequences."

Attorney General Jeff Sessions: "This failure to get encrypted
information in a timely manner causes law enforcement to waste even more
valuable time and resources than it should have. And it could have
potentially deadly consequences."
