Judge Orders GOP Lawmaker Scott Perry to Hand Over Cell Phone Records in Jan. 6 Election Subversion Case
A federal judge has granted access to approximately 1,700 messages from the seized phone of Representative Scott Perry, a GOP lawmaker involved in discussions with Trump administration officials about overturning the 2020 election. The messages could provide additional evidence for the special counsel leading the federal election case against Donald J. Trump. The judge prohibited prosecutors from retrieving only 396 messages covered by the Constitution's speech or debate clause, while ordering the majority to be turned over. The messages involve discussions on voter fraud, influencing people outside the government, Vice President Mike Pence's certification of Joe Biden's victory, and the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
