Former President Barack Obamas ambassador to the United Nations has testified that others made so-called unmasking requests in her name, House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy said Tuesday.
Her testimony is they may be under my name, but I did not make those requests, Gowdy said of former Ambassador Samantha Power during an interview with Fox News Bret Baier on "Special Report with Bret Baier."
Power is among the Obama administration figures who made requests to identify Americans whose names surfaced in foreign intelligence reporting, known as unmasking.
Last month, Fox News reported that Power was unmasking at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one request for every working day in 2016 and even sought information in the days leading up to President Trumps inauguration.
Power visited Capitol Hill on Friday for a closed-door interview with House investigators looking into the unmasking of Trump associates under the Obama administration.
