GOP Leader McCarthy Threatens Companies That Cooperate with House Insurrection Probe

HeadlineSep 02, 2021

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy warned tech and telecommunication companies not to comply with requests from lawmakers investigating the deadly January 6 insurrection at the Capitol, saying Republicans “will not forget” if they do. The House select committee has requested the companies preserve records related to the attack. McCarthy said the request was illegal, though he did not offer any legal backing for his claim. 

Meanwhile, here in New York, the director of security and the controller for the Trump Organization are expected to testify before a Manhattan grand jury today as investigations continue into financial crimes at the former president’s businesses.
