I'm not saying the FBI paid an enormous sum to access a phone used by one of the perpetrators of the 2015 mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.

The FBI initially went to court with Apple to try to force the company to unlock the phone, saying agents needed it to complete a thorough investigation.

Former FBI Director James Comey has implied that the agency paid well over $1 million for the job, while Sen. Dianne Feinstein said the agency coughed up $900,000.
