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.
