The House Judiciary Committee has launched an inquiry into the Justice Department's attempt to surveil members of Congress through their private digital communications.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, House Judiciary chairman and staunch ally of Donald Trump, meets with reporters about his struggle to become speaker of the House, at the Capitol in Washington, Friday, Oct. 20, 2023. The House Judiciary Committee has launched an inquiry into the Justice Department’s attempt to surveil members of Congress through their private digital communications.
The request for the staffer’s personal phone records and emails came while the Senate Judiciary Committee, then chaired by Mr. Grassley, was investigating the Department’s handling of the Christopher Steele dossier. The Senate Judiciary Committee called for answers from the Justice Department about the Flynn investigation and the leak.“Google’s notification to this staffer revealed the Justice Department likely also sought the personal records and communications of other congressional staffers — both Republicans and Democrats — who engaged in oversight of the Department during the same period,” Mr. Jordan wrote.
Reports surfaced last week that several current and former congressional staffers discovered the Justice Department subpoenaed their personal phone and email records in 2017, likely under as part of a leak probe.Google alerted Jason Foster, Mr. Grassley’s former chief investigative counsel on the Judiciary Committee, that the DOJ wanted and received his personal records.
