Power Sought To Unmask Americans On ‘an Almost Daily Basis’

Obama U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power "unmasked" some 260 people in 2016, including in the lead-up to President Donald Trump's inauguration.

Most of Power's unmasking happened in the final months of former President Barack Obama's administration, Fox News reports.

"Unmasking" refers to the process of revealing the names of individuals which are otherwise obscured but incidentally collected in intelligence reports. Some have suggested that Power, along with former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, may have misused the unmasking procedure, including by unmasking Trump campaign associates in the lead-up to the 2016 election.

In July, Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, wrote to Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats to inform him that the committee had learned "that one official, whose position had no apparent intelligence-related function, made hundreds of unmasking requests during the final year of the Obama Administration."

That official is likely to be Power.

  2. Never happen. They are all Democrats and will receive no punishment for violating National Security. Mueller will make sure of that.
