Supreme Court allows Jan. 6 committee to access Arizona GOP chair’s phone records
The justices, with noted opposition from Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, denied the chair’s emergency motion to block the panel from enforcing a subpoena against T-Mobile to obtain records.
The Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Jan. 6 select committee to obtain the phone records of Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward, a key ally during Donald Trump’s effort to subvert the 2020 election.
The justices, with noted opposition from Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, denied Ward’s emergency motion to block the panel from enforcing a subpoena against T-Mobile to obtain Ward’s records.
The panel is seeking evidence related to Ward’s coordination with Trump and his allies to assemble a slate of fake presidential electors intended to help disrupt the transfer of power on Jan. 6, 2021. Ward, who served as one of those pro-Trump electors, pleaded the Fifth when interviewed by the panel in March.
