Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) has sued President Joe Biden’s administration after Department of Justice (DOJ) officials seized the congressman’s phone, but says an agreement might be reached outside of court.

In an emergency motion filed on Aug. 18 in federal court in Washington, Perry asked the court to halt the review of seized phone data, compel government officials to return the data and any other property it seized when it executed a warrant on Aug. 9, and bar officials from acquiring any other information until the matter is fully litigated.
