'Stop the Steal' leader hands over communications with GOP lawmakers to January 6 committee
CNN
"Stop the Steal" leader Ali Alexander has handed over to the House Select Committee investigating January 6 thousands of text messages and communication records that include his interactions with members of Congress and former President Donald Trump's inner circle leading up to the riot, according to a court document submitted late Friday night.
The revelations emerged from Alexander's challenge to the committee's effort to obtain his phone records directly from his telecommunications provider.
"Alexander received a notice from Verizon that the Select Committee had subpoenaed Verizon for nine categories of information associated with Alexander's personal cell phone number," the filing says. "The data sought is not pertinent to the investigation and sweeps up privileged communications between Alexander and clergy, Alexander and people he spiritually counsels and Alexander and his respective attorneys."
