WASHINGTON — FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III headed out to California earlier this week, not to let his hair down, but to meet in Silicon Valley with top executives from several companies including Facebook and Google to discuss a proposal to make it easier to wiretap Internet users, the New York Times reported.
The Times, citing “several people familiar with the dicussions”, reported that Mueller and the FBI’s general counsel, Valerie Caproni, were scheduled to meet with senior managers of the different companies.
