Trump's Justice Department obtained data from House Democrats in leak investigation

Justice Department prosecutors subpoenaed Apple for data from the accounts of two Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee, including current Chairman Adam Schiff, while investigating leaks of classified information related to contacts between aides to former President Trump and Russia in the early days of the Trump administration, two sources confirmed to CBS News.

The New York Times, which first reported the subpoenas, said the data of at least a dozen people connected to the committee was seized. Some of the targets were committee aides and family members, including a minor, the sources told CBS News. A House Intelligence Committee official told CBS News that targets of the subpoenas were told by Apple in May that the Justice Department had issued grand jury subpoenas for their information in February 2018. Records were also seized in 2017. The Committee was told in May that the matter had been closed.
