Congressman Scott Perry, whose phone was seized as part of the Justice Department’s probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, may seek to participate in a House of Representatives panel to investigate those same federal investigators
A prominent Republican whose phone was seized as part of the Justice Department’s probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election said on Sunday he may seek to participate on a new House of Representatives panel that will investigate those same federal investigators.
“I get accused of all kinds of things every single day, as does every member that serves in the public eye,” he said. “But that doesn’t stop you from doing your job. It is our duty. And it is my duty.” The Justice Department, which has two ongoing investigations into Trump’s actions in the 2020 election and his retention of highly classified documents after departing the White House in 2021, will be a target of the new House committee’s probe.
One of the two probes involves Perry, who is likely a person of interest because he introduced Trump to former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark.
