Stephen Miller sues over Jan. 6 subpoena of phone records

WASHINGTON — Trump White House senior adviser Stephen Miller sued the House Jan. 6 committee to block a subpoena of his parents’ T-Mobile family plan, which provides him with a number.

The federal suit filed Wednesday in Washington is the latest effort by associates of former President Donald Trump seeking to prevent the House select committee from getting records and testimony that could shed light on the attack on the Capitol.

Unlike some other members of Trump inner circle, though, Miller said the Jan. 6 attack was “disturbing” and that the House probe is legitimate. Even so, he argues the subpoena is overly broad and an “unreasonable search” because the committee and its chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, have no reason to believe he was involved in the Capitol siege.
