Feinstein office: Leaked document not new encryption bill
From: The Hill
By Joe Uchill
On Friday, a well-esteemed security blog printed excerpts from what it said was a leaked copy of a rewritten Feinstein-Burr encryption bill. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) office has since clarified that, while there was a document, it was not new draft legislation.
A source within Feinstein’s office familiar with the document says it was actually an internal brainstorming file being compiled by Feinstein’s staffers as they met with stakeholders in the encryption debate. It is not, the source stressed, legislation the office or any office is currently considering.
