Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on Tuesday criticized the Justice Department for subpoenaing the phone records of Associated Press journalists as part of an investigation.

“I have trouble defending what the Justice Department did,” Reid told reporters at his weekly press conference. “I don’t know who did it or why it was done but it’s inexcusable. It’s an issue I feel very strongly about.”

“All I know is it’s wrong.”
