Supreme Court says House Jan. 6 committee may obtain Kelli Ward’s phone records

WASHINGTON — Turning away a plea from Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward to keep her phone records private, the Supreme Court on Monday let stand a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

The decision came in a one-line order, with dissents by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr.

Ward was not at the Capitol when a mob tried to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory, but the House committee alleged she “played a significant role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election.”
