DOJ Obtains Phone Records of Republicans, Fueling Claims of Government Overreach
Congressional Republicans have claimed that the DOJ obtained their phone records as part of a government conspiracy against them, but details about the records reveal more nuanced circumstances. The extent to which Democrats' claims about Republican phone records obtained by the DOJ remain accurate is disputed among lawmakers and experts.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is facing criticism from Congressional Republicans for obtaining phone records of their members, with some labeling it a 'war on conservative' and accusing Democrats of weaponizing the federal government against their side. The DOJ claimed they needed the records to investigate potential crimes committed by Republicans during the January 6th riot. Critics argue that the request was an overreach, however.
