Declassified has learned that the Obama administration has now asked a career Justice Department lawyer, Matthew Olsen, to become NSA’s new general counsel, and that he has accepted the post.

Olson, Hosenball adds, has experience in surveillance law at the Justice Department’s National Security Division.
