Street Calls of the Week
Investing.com -- Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn has requested that the CEOs of T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon provide information about whether they received or objected to subpoenas for phone data from eight U.S. senators during a Justice Department investigation into the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
In letters seen on Friday, Blackburn asked the telecommunications companies to disclose if they provided "the cell phone records of their personal devices, their official government devices, or both" when responding to the subpoenas.
The inquiry follows Monday’s disclosure by Senate Republicans of a 2023 document showing that the FBI had obtained "toll records" from senators’ phones, including Blackburn’s, as part of the Capitol riot investigation.
Blackburn’s letters include a series of questions for the telecom companies regarding their handling of the Justice Department’s requests for the senators’ phone data.
