Supreme Court rules to allow House committee to see Arizona GOP chair’s phone records – By Joe Fisher (UPI) / Nov 14, 2022
Nov. 14 (UPI) — The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol will have access to the phone records of Arizona’s GOP chair after a Supreme Court ruling on Monday.
Kelli Ward, chair of the GOP in Arizona, requested a stay and injunction from the Supreme Court to block the Jan. 6 committee from accessing her phone records in October. After a pause, the court denied Ward’s request. The court ruled 7-2 with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito voting against the ruling.
Ward’s phone service provider T-Mobile will be ordered to submit specific phone records that are relevant to the committee’s investigation. The committee is not seeking the contents of any messages. Rather, it is looking for phone numbers and IP addresses Ward communicated with between Nov. 1, 2020, and Jan. 31, 2021. Ward has an active lawsuit against T-Mobile to stop the company from releasing those records. That lawsuit has not been ruled on.
