House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has ordered Big Tech giants including Apple and Google’s parent company, Alphabet, to hand over information regarding the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) attempts to surveil members of Congress and their staff via their private emails and phone records.
Mr. Jordan fired off letters to the CEOs of Alphabet, Apple, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon on Oct. 31 after multiple current and former Senate and House staff—both Democrats and Republicans—were informed by the firms that their email or phone records had been seized by the DOJ via a grand jury subpoena six years ago.
