has subpoenaed the Secret Service for text messages agents reportedly deleted around Jan. 6, 2021, as the panel probes Donald Trump’s actions at the time of the deadly siege.
The Secret Service said the committee “has had our full and unwavering cooperation” since beginning its work and “that does not change,” according to a statement from agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. He added: “We plan to continue that cooperation by responding swiftly to the Committee’s subpoena.”
Thompson told The Associated Press on Friday that the committee is taking a deeper look at whether records may have been lost. “There have been some conflicting positions on the matter,” he said. The inspector general has first requested the electronic communications on Feb. 26, “after the migration was well under way,” Guglielmi said.
