FBI and Apple Present Their Cases in Front of House Committee

Apple and the FBI argue about a terrorism investigation before a House Committee.

FOX’s Steve Taylor reports from Washington:

One of the dead San Bernardino terrorists left an iPhone that can erase itself if investigators try to access its data.

FBI Director James Comey says:

(Comey) “We cannot decrypt that which is covered by strong encryption.”

The FBI wants Apple to write a computer code to bypass the iPhone’s security.

Apple lawyer Bruce Sewell says:

(Sewell) ”Building that software tool would not affect just one iPhone. It would weaken the security for all of them.”

A court may decide this particular case. Congress may write a law to cover future cases.
