Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), a member of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, said Sunday that deleted Secret Service texts sent the day before and day of the insurrection will be turned over to the panel by Tuesday.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleges that messages from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021 were erased as part of a planned system migration.
“You can imagine how shocked we were to get the letter from the [DHS] Inspector General saying that he had been trying to get this information and that they had, in fact, been deleted after he’d asked for them,” Lofgren told Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week.”
“I was shocked to hear that they didn’t back up their data before they re-set their iPhones,” the congresswoman added. “That’s crazy. I don’t know why that would be.”
The exact relevance of the Jan. 5 and Jan. 6 texts are unknown, Lofgren said. Initially, officials assured the panel that the erasure included no messages related to the Jan. 6 attacks, but another spokesperson said that some messages were pertinent.
“We need all the texts,” Lofgren said, in order “to get the full picture.”
The committee subpoenaed the Secret Service for the deleted messages Friday and will likely receive the documents Tuesday. A Secret Service spokesperson said the agency has turned 800,000 records over the the committee, the Hill reported last week.
The texts could factor into the committee’s eighth public hearing when it reconvenes on Thursday.
“We hope to go through minute by minute what happened, what didn’t happen on that day, and people can make their own judgment,” Lofgren said of the panel’s plans.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said on Sunday said it would be “quite crazy” if the Secret Service did in fact delete the text messages, adding the circumstances of the missing messages remain to be seen.
“We’re going to know more Tuesday,” he told CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan.
And yet the committee has no interest in the video that proves these people were innocent.
What a shameful day it is to have politicians using the force of the government to persecute political opponents. What is it about Trump that drives them so insane? What plans of theirs was he in the way of? What was he on the verge of exposing? Why are these people such as Lezbo Cheney so evil?
Trump is a danger to their cash flow and freedom.
They are sooooo corrupt..........
AOC is now worth $29 MILLION...... Not bad for a crooked ex-barmaid, eh?.........
They must know that the emails helps their committee. (or have already been “edited”)
Edited or just plain old made up...
This group has zero self-awareness and even less credibility.
And yet the Mueller Investigation team did the same thing with their government-issued iPhones with nary a peep from the media.
Let me guess...
Adam Shitt gets to read out the texts, and when the Secret Service says that’s not what they said, the Jan 6 Commie-ittee refuses to let the agents “quoted” appear to right the record?
Exactly......................
Editing is right here.
“I was shocked to hear that they didn’t back up their data before they re-set their iPhones,” the congresswoman added. “That’s crazy. I don’t know why that would be.”
Oh really?! It’s called buying time to scrub them of any Deep State corruption and involvement. This whole thing was clearly a set-up aka false flag op aka Reichstag fire. And I suspect the Dems - including the ones running the kangaroo court like Jan 6 committee hearings - knew, were part of, ran the op, or some combination.
Whom is sending these ‘deleted’ texts? It seems like an excuse to make up whatever you want.

Uh huh.
What do you suppose is actually in them. It’s going to be nothing as usual. Theyll try to gaslight people into believing the taxes had some nafarious content, by taking something out of context but they’ll be nothing…. Just like every other “bombshell” they’ve produced
$29,000,000!!??? She was just out there complaining about her rent and food costs. That pos.
Bet on it... the ‘Committee’ will manipuate what ever they receive
[[What is it about Trump that drives them so insane?]]
Their hatred is a satanic hatred. Donald represented good, and they don’t, and they know it, so,they lash out. Donald exposed a lot,of,their corruption and stood up.to their cos tent bullying by calling out the press as fake news, and the left were incensed by it and seek revenge.
They would be almkst,as vile towards any republican though, but Donald “turned on them” by becoming a republican, and they can’t forgett thst.
