  • Trump's Justice Department secretly obtained phone records from Congress members and staff - Two House Democrats and 43 staffers targeted in broad sweep during Trump's administration

The Justice Department under former President Donald Trump secretly obtained phone records of members of Congress and their staff as part of an investigation into leaks about Trump's ties to Russia. This investigation, which took place in 2018, involved obtaining records from Apple for two House Intelligence Committee Democrats, Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell, and their aides. The records included metadata but not the content of communications. This action was part of a broader effort by Trump's DOJ to identify sources of leaks, which also saw the Justice Department seizing records from journalists and other political figures. The revelation of these subpoenas has raised significant concerns about the separation of powers and the potential infringement on legislative independence.
