January 6 committee subpoenaed Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward
January 6 committee subpoenaed Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward, who told election officials in the state 'we need you to stop counting the votes'
The select House committee investigating the Capitol riot subpoenaed the phone records of Kelli Ward, the chair of the Republican party in Arizona, and her husband, Michael Ward, according to a lawsuit filed by the couple on Tuesday, Politico reported.
The Wards are suing the committee, Chairman Bennie Thompson, and T-Mobile to block the company from providing their phone records. The lawsuit said T-Mobile received the subpoena from the committee on January 24, and that they are seeking phone records from November 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021.
The lawsuit argues that providing the records would infringe upon their right to privacy and doctor-patient privilege, as the Wards are both doctors and use their phones to talk to patients, as well as violate their First and Fourth Amendment rights.
An attorney for the Wards did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment. T-Mobile and Rep. Thompson's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
