Details on FBI interrogation from FBI reports made public in court filing. Teen's lawyers tried to suppress statements.

When FBI agents arrested suspect Mohammed Hamzah Khan on charges of attempting to aid Islamic State, they spoke to him for more than 10 hours on a variety of different subjects, the Chicago Tribune reported, including his religious beliefs and a selfie he took with Kim Kardashian.
In the FBI reports, which lawyers for Khan tried to suppress, Khan spoke of feeling that he was being watched.
In that conversation, Khan said he had been worried for weeks that he was under government surveillance because he’d heard a “clicking noise” on his phone and thought it might be tapped, court records show.
