Trying to take a bite out of Apple:
The FBI believes that Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, attempted to destroy as much evidence as possible before their attack. They did not, however, destroy everything. Investigators found an intact Apple iPhone in a vehicle they used.
The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California has issued an order directing Apple to assist law enforcement agents in unlocking the phone. There are no decryption demands in this case, and Apple is in no way required to provide a so-called backdoor. The FBI needs access to the phone so the agency can better piece together information about the terrorists and whom they contacted.
Bolding mine. In true GOP fashion, Burr reveals exactly what he's trying to do through his denial. The FBI is most certainly trying to obtain a backdoor that can be used on other devices in the future, by forcing Apple to create a custom program to circumvent security lockouts:
