Exclusive: January 6 committee casts a wide net with over 100 subpoenas for phone records
CNN
The House select committee investigating the January 6 riot has formally subpoenaed the phone records of more than 100 people, a substantial number that includes former Trump officials and associates of the ex-President such as his one-time chief of staff Mark Meadows, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
The committee has already begun receiving some data from phone providers, the sources said. The records do not include the content of the calls but rather details about who called or texted whom, when and for how long, giving them the ability to draw a web of communications before, during and after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
Congressional investigators also believe this data will help them piece together communications between those in former President Donald Trump's official orbit and the people who organized the rally that preceded the Capitol attack and rioters who participated in the violence.
