Congressional investigators collected a stunning 30 million lines of phone data mapping contacts between conservatives and the Trump White House in the name of investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, a massive dragnet that raises civil liberty concerns about the lack of limits on the ability of lawmakers to snoop on Americans’ private phone calls.

The mountainous collection of phone records were revealed to the FBI led by Chris Wray in late 2023 by former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a GOP member on the Democrat-run House Jan. 6 select committee. The cache was offered to the bureau on the eve of the 2024 presidential election as evidence without requiring a warrant, according to an FBI document memorializing the offer that was reviewed by Just the News.

The memo says Kinzinger told the FBI that the phone data had been collected by then-former Rep. Denver Riggleman, an ex-Republican who was a staffer on the Capitol riot committee and who later helped Hunter Biden’s legal team in its efforts to cast doubt on the laptop belonging to Joe Biden’s son.

According to the FBI’s memo, Riggleman was “able to obtain toll information including for White House root or switchboard numbers via congressional subpoena.” He then reportedly “identified certain telephone connections between numbers identified as being associated with the White House and certain individuals.”

Just the News notes that this memo reveals “the sheer magnitude of a phone surveillance project the Democrats ran by using congressional subpoenas to gather phone records about Americans’ contacts.” It is also the latest example of Biden-era corruption, as the FBI revealed last week that the agency, under the direction of Special Counsel Jack Smith, collected the phone records of Republican lawmakers as part of an investigation into January 6.

For his part, current FBI Director Kash Patel is working hard to correct his agency’s past wrongs. Following last week’s revelation, he tweeted that FBI has “terminated employees,” “abolished the weaponized CR-15 squad,” and “initiated an ongoing investigation with more accountability measures ahead.” Meanwhile, Mike Davis, founder of the Article 3 Project, addressed the most recent revelations with a hopeful tone, suggesting that the FBI memo may lead to legal challenges that could potentially reign in congressional oversight powers.

As more and more corruption is exposed, let’s pray truth, transparency, and reform!
