The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol urged the Supreme Court on Friday not to delay a subpoena for phone records of the leader of the Arizona Republican Party.
The committee told the justices in a brief that its subpoena for state GOP Chair Kelli Ward’s phone records would not infringe on her rights and the committee needs the records before it ends in January to account for actions leading up to the violence at the building on the day of the attack.
Any further delay in getting the records would, “practically speaking, make it extremely difficult for the Select Committee to obtain and effectively utilize the subpoenaed records before that date,” the brief said.
