A freelance photojournalist is suing the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, saying the panel issued “an invasive and sweeping subpoena” of her phone records that violates the First Amendment.

Amy Harris, a photographer who has worked with outlets including The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Time magazine, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday afternoon in federal court in Washington.
