An internal probe has concluded the FBI may have committed more than 1,000 breaches of the law or agency rules while gathering data on phone calls, emails and financial transactions in the United States. The probe covers just 10 percent of FBI investigations, meaning the actual number of violations could top 10,000. Most of the breaches came in cases where agents retained phone and email records mistakenly provided by service providers.
