A Phoenix federal judge on Friday refused Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward’s request to put on hold her own previously issued court order that allowed the Jan. 6 Committee to access the Republican leader’s phone records.

Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Diane J. Humetewa, an Obama appointee, dismissed Ward’s lawsuit which argued that handing over her phone records to the House Jan. 6 Committee would violate medical privacy laws and infringe on her constitutional rights.
