A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit to quash a subpoena issued by the House January 6 committee for the phone records of Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward.

U.S. District Court Judge Diane J. Humetewa, an Obama appointee, rejected Ward’s arguments that handing over the records would infringe her constitutional rights and violate medical privacy laws.
