NSA deleted surveillance data it pledged to preserve

"...the agency did not preserve the content of internet communications intercepted between 2001 and 2007... To make matters worse, backup tapes ... were erased in 2009, 2011 and 2016, the NSA said."

The agency tells a federal judge that it is investigating and 'sincerely regrets its failure.'
