Secret Service
Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) demanded the Homeland Security inspector general resign over missing Jan. 6 records.
Olivia Troye, who quit the administration in 2020, appeared to call out the same Trump official now embroiled in the Secret Service text-deletion scandal.
A plan was in the works to collect phones and retrieve missing data, then suddenly dropped, sources told The Washington Post.
The phones of Homeland Security leaders Chad Wolf and Ken Cuccinelli reportedly were wiped, much like those of Trump's Secret Service agents.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Witnesses are confirming testimony that the then-president got into a heated fight with Secret Service agents who refused to drive him to the Capitol.
The Homeland Security inspector general's delay, reported by The Washington Post, may make it harder to recover evidence in the Jan. 6 investigation.
The U.S. Secret Service has apparently erased all of its text messages from Jan. 6, 2021.
The House committee investigating the violent insurrection subpoenaed the texts last Friday.
Were agents “part of an effort to intimidate Cassidy Hutchinson? We need answers,” said Norm Eisen.
The panel is supposed to get the texts Tuesday. "We'll see," said Lofgren.
