US Justice Department: Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch Delivers Remarks At Press Conference Announcing Charges Against Nine FIFA Officials And Five Corporate Executives

Date 27/05/2015

Good morning and thank you all for being here.  Before we begin, I want to quickly comment on the situation regarding FISA.  As Attorney General, I am deeply committed to ensuring that this nation protects the civil liberties of every American while also keeping our country safe and secure.  Unfortunately, some of the vital and uncontroversial tools we use to combat terrorism and crime are scheduled to shut down on Sunday.  The House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan bill, called the USA Freedom Act, that would extend these tools while addressing important and valid concerns about other aspects of the government’s ability to protect data – but without action from the U.S. Senate, we will experience a serious lapse in our ability to protect the American people.  I join the President in urging the U.S. Senate to work through the current recess in order to make sure that we can continue to appropriately safeguard this country and protect its citizens.

EU Reform

“TheCityUK believes that a referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU should be based on a constructive reform agenda that will benefit the City, the UK and Europe.  Prolonged uncertainty around the UK’s status as an EU Member State could harm the UK’s business environment and impact major investment decisions, and therefore a referendum should be held without undue delay.
