Secret Service Claims It Has Preserved Just One Text Exchange from Jan. 6 Insurrection

HeadlineJul 20, 2022

CNN is reporting the U.S. Secret Service has only provided a single text exchange to the House January 6 committee and the Department of Homeland Security inspector general after requests for the agency to hand over all text messages from 24 individuals around the time of the January 6 insurrection. The Secret Service is claiming all of the messages have been purged. The DHS inspector general said in a letter to lawmakers last week that the erasure took place shortly after oversight officials requested electronic communications from the agency.
