House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Wednesday called for a probe into the National Security Agency (NSA), citing a “disturbing trend” that includes allegations of spying on Fox News host Tucker Carlson and the sidelining of Trump-appointed Michael Ellis as the agency’s general counsel.

McCarthy said in a June 30 statement that he has observed a pattern of action in recent months on the part of the agency that he finds “disturbing.”
