California's senior senator, Dianne Feinstein, says the stakes are high in the fight over whether Apple should help the federal government unlock an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists. The Democrat wants the Cupertino tech giant to help the Department of Justice.
Feinstein spoke Friday at an event held by the Public Policy Institute of California in Sacramento. She says her position on the Senate Intelligence Committee gives her perspective most people don’t have.
“And I can tell you it is a very dangerous world,” she says. “I can tell you that there is a war going on without a war being declared.”
Feinstein said the phone could provide valuable information about the Dec. 2 attacks that killed 14 people and wounded 22.
