Associated Press is an American news media company. In 2013 it was revealed that the United States Department of Justice had secretly obtained telephone records belonging to AP a few months before the United States presidential election, 2012.
Associated Press CEO Gary Pruitt called the DOJ action: a 'massive and unprecedented intrusion' of Freedom of the Press rights, according to Fox News. Head of the Department of Justice Eric Holder, who has been asked for his resignation over the matter, claimed that he was not involved.
