Jan. 6 committee asks companies to preserve phone records from GOP lawmakers, Trump aides

While the requests do not single out any lawmakers or members of the Trump family by name, the committee is focusing its inquiry on Republicans closely associated with the ‘Stop the Steal’ effort and who spoke at the rally on the morning of Jan. 6, according to a committee source.

The committee is also interested in the records of Ivanka Trump, who worked in the West Wing, and Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who worked on their father’s reelection bid.Supporters of President Donald Trump, including Army and Navy reserve veteran and Oath Keeper member Graydon Young, enter the US Capitol's Rotunda on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. Young was arrested in connection with the Capitol riot.

Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., recently told reporters that the committee is focusing on “several hundred” people of interest to their investigation, including members of Congress, the Trump administration and members of the president’s family. The request – which could eventually be followed by subpoenas to compel production of the records – follows similar letters sent to eight government agencies last week to preserve Trump-era records of interest to the panel’s inquiry.

On Friday, the committee sent requests to 15 internet and social media companies, for records and data relating to misinformation about the 2020 election and efforts to overturn the presidential race.

Well Government employees use government phones so collect them get their info.

These are traitors not patriots.

We used to be a country that pulled together. The current GOP is creating the next Civil War. All in the name of power and greed

I’d love to hear about phone records. There was help that day.

Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. — Don Miguel Ruiz
