Sharyl Attkisson, who resigned from CBS News last year over claims the network stifled critical reporting against President Obama, has filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration alleging it oversaw illegal surveillance and hacked her computer.
In a series of court documents, Attkisson cites three different computer forensic exams she initiated that found hackers monitoring her work between 2011 and 2013, while she was still at CBS News. She is suing for $35 million.
During that time period, Attkisson reported on stories critical of the Obama administration, including the Benghazi consulate attack on September 11th, 2012, and the “Fast and Furious” drugs- and firearms-trafficking story.
