A Look at How the FBI Has Used Geofence Warrants to Pinpoint Jan. 6 Suspects

It’s the FBI’s biggest investigation ever.  Looking into who was in Washington on Jan.6 and who stormed the Capitol.  It has also included the biggest ever request of phone data from geofence warrants.  Google has provided data from over 5,000 devices as the FBI has tried to narrow their search to pinpoint suspects.  Google also has a three-step process for these types of warrants to help protect as much privacy as possible and only provide info on those most likely to have commit a crime.  We are only learning more about this now as lawyers for one suspect are looking to throw out the geofence evidence in court.  Mark Harris, contributor to Wired, joins us for what to know.

 

Next, if you weathered the pandemic storm and stuck with your employer over the last couple of years, then you very well could be underpaid.  The tight labor market has led to a lot of movement and forced employers to try and lure new candidates with bigger paychecks and more work benefits.  That has led to a divide with current employees as salaries for new hires are on average 7% higher than existing workers.  Aki Ito, senior correspondent at Business Insider, joins us for more.
