Aug 29, 2006 (Raw Story) -- Two attorneys representing claimants in a lawsuit over wiretapping by the National Security Agency will subpoena the White House today.

Bruce Afran and Carl Mayer, who represent hundreds of plaintiffs in lawsuits against Verizon, AT&T, and the U.S. Government, will announce today that they are serving both the Bush administration and Verizon with subpoenas.

The announcement is due to arrive at 4:30 p.m. outside of Verizon headquarters in New York, Raw Story has confirmed.

The subpoenas come on the heels of two federal court decisions that were seen as blows to the Bush Administration warrantless spying program.
