Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has vowed to block a vote confirming Lt. Gen. Timothy Haugh to serve as director of the National Security Agency (NSA) until the NSA answers “basic questions” regarding whether or not it is surveilling Americans, including their location data and web-browsing records.

The senator said in a Nov. 30 press release that the Defense Department has refused to release important information regarding the alleged personal data purchasing, despite the government having already acknowledged that such information is not classified.
