"Judge Demands Rep. Scott Perry Surrender Cell Phone Records in Election Subversion and Trump Probe"

A judge has ordered Rep. Scott Perry to turn over his cell phone records to federal prosecutors in the election subversion case. The special counsel's office will have access to over 1,600 communications on Perry's phone, including messages related to his interest in assisting former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The court decision releases the majority of Perry's messages to investigators, while allowing him to protect about 400 records relating directly to votes he would take. Perry has not been charged with any crime, and it is unclear if he is still under investigation.

Federal Judge Orders Rep. Scott Perry to Hand Over Phone Data in 2020 Election and Jan. 6 Probes

A federal judge has ruled that federal investigators can access thousands of communications, including text messages and emails, on the cellphone of Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania as part of the special counsel's 2020 election probe into former President Donald Trump and his allies. The judge's ruling overrides Perry's claims of constitutional protection, stating that the data could include communications regarding the Capitol insurrection and discussions about Vice President Pence's role in the Electoral Count Act. Perry had argued that the Speech and Debate clause protected his cellphone records, but the judge disagreed.

Judge orders Rep. Scott Perry to hand over phone records in Jan. 6 and election probe

A federal judge has ordered Rep. Scott Perry, a Republican from Pennsylvania, to turn over nearly 1,700 cellphone records to government investigators in relation to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The judge ruled that the records were not protected by the speech or debate clause of the Constitution. While some records were deemed protected, the remaining ones, including messages about alleged election fraud and the role of the vice president in certifying the electoral vote count, must be disclosed. Perry had previously argued that the clause protected him from the government searching his communications, but the court largely rejected that argument.

Judge orders Rep. Scott Perry to disclose phone records in Jan. 6 investigation

A federal judge has ordered Rep. Scott Perry to disclose over 1,600 emails, text messages, and other communications related to the investigation into Donald Trump and his allies' efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The judge concluded that the majority of these exchanges were not protected by Perry's constitutional privileges as a member of Congress, as they were unrelated to his legislative duties. The records could provide crucial information for the ongoing investigation and reveal Perry's role as a go-between for Trump and his allies in their attempts to disrupt the transfer of power. Perry's attorney has not yet decided whether to appeal the ruling.

Unsealed Messages Expose Rep. Scott Perry's Role in Election Challenges

A federal judge has granted the Justice Department access to nearly 1,700 records recovered from the cellphone of Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) in the ongoing criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The judge reviewed over 2,000 communications from Perry's phone and allowed access to 1,659 records while withholding 396 others. The contents of Perry's discussions with Trump's legal advisers, aides, and others were briefly revealed in a court filing last month, detailing efforts to gain access to secret intelligence, replace the attorney general, and reverse the election outcome. The order will determine which messages can be used as potential evidence, pending a possible appeal by Perry.

"Rep. Scott Perry's Extensive Network Exposed in Effort to Overturn 2020 Election"

Newly released court documents reveal a web of communications between Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) and key figures in Donald Trump's orbit, including former DOJ official Jeff Clark. The text messages show Perry's support for Trump's false claims of voter fraud and his involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The documents also include exchanges with other House members seeking to challenge the election results. The court filing, which appears to have been mistakenly made public, sheds light on Perry's extensive contacts and involvement in Trump's bid to remain in power.
