Exclusive: The January 6 panel will ask phone records be kept of GOP lawmakers and Trump family members who played a role in the rally before the Capitol riot

The House Select Committee investigating the deadly January 6 riot is set to request that a group of telecommunications companies preserve the phone records of a group of GOP members of Congress and former President Donald Trump, as well as members of the Trump family, who played some role in the"Stop the Steal" rally that served as the prelude to the Capitol insurrection.

The records request is the first step in the committee's investigatory process and could signal the direction they plan to go when they call witnesses.It is unclear what means the committee will use to compel the telecommunications companies to cooperate with their request. The committee does have subpoena power, but requesting the information -- especially from members of Congress -- could lead to a lengthy legal battle.

The only person dead because of Jan 6 riot is Ashli Babbitt an UNARMED protestor murdered by a reckless capitol police officer. He never gave a warning and shot her in the neck. The same officer who recklessly left his unlocked gun laying in the men’s bathroom.

What a waste of taxpayer money. What is needed is term limits and a reduction of number of representatives in house. Save taxpayers millions while getting better representatives to choose from.

The House rather than wasting time on this, should consider bringing impeachment against Joe Biden for surrendering billions $ worth arms to Taliban and making their advanced techniques accessible on enemies and for betraying armed forces of USA, NATO and Afghan people

How long has this charade been going on, and yet they come up empty.

In a statement Wednesday evening , Trump accused the committee of violating ' long standing legal principles of privilege '.

What about LindseyGrahamSC He said he was on the phone with Jared Kushner on January 6. Kushner had literally just arrived back from his trip to the Middle East, was in his car, and he promised Lindsey he would head to the White House and try and talk to trump.
