The Democrats running the Congressional Jan. 6 committee will seek records from multiple lawmakers as part of an inquiry into the Capitol riot.

“We'll look at everything that will give us information on what happened on January 6,” Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) told reporters on Aug. 23 when asked if the committee will be asking telecommunications companies for lawmakers’ records.
