The U.S. Secret Service has been subpoenaed by the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Chair Benny Thompson (D-MS) sent a letter to Secret Service Director James Murray.
Thompson wrote, “The Select Committee has been informed that the USSS erased text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021 as part of a ‘device-replacement program.’ In a statement issued July 14, 2022, the USSS stated that it ‘began to reset its mobile phones to factory settings as part of a pre-planned, three-month system migration. In that process, data resident on some phones was lost.’ However, according to that USSS statement, ‘none of the texts it [DHS Office of Inspector General] was seeking had been lost in the migration.’"
