No not they they picked up members of congress, all they did at the AP was get records of calls, but read what the congressman said, “The big problem that I see is that they actually tapped right where I’m sitting right now, the Cloak Room.”

He is saying that they tapped the House Cloakroom.

Things are different now that we have VOIP phone communications. One no longer needs to 'tap' and record a conversation, because ALL conversations are now recorded at that NSA data center in Utah. Hence, all Zero needs to 'tap' a conversation is to know the time and the line on which the call was made and then pull up the record.

This is why getting phone records is so damaging; it IS equivalent to a wire tap.
