When the House Jan. 6 committee released hundreds of documents from its investigation online at the end of the year, it inadvertently made public nearly 2,000 Social Security numbers belonging to high profile individuals who visited the White House in December 2020, according to a report.
The Washington Post reported Friday that the leaked Social Security information was included in a spreadsheet buried within the "massive cache" of records from the committee's work. Social Security numbers belonging to at least three members of Trump's cabinet, a few Republican governors, and several Trump associates were reportedly compromised. The data was part of the White House visitor logs published by the committee.
While many Social Security numbers in the logs were redacted, the Post reported that around 1,900 of them were not. The Government Publishing Office (GPO), which was responsible for publishing the file, does not appear to have notified any of the individuals whose private information was released, the report said.
Those whose Social Security information was made public include South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) and her family, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R), former Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.

The Democrat Party is so...chicken shtt.
The bolded word does not mean what they think it means...
Inadvertent my a$$...................
Let two thousand lawsuits bloom—with junkyard dog plaintiff’s attorneys....
Agree!
Unfortunately, if such a legal action took place the cost would be borne by the taxpayers! It should be borne by the creators, members and staff of this illegal if not unconstitutional committee.
Class action lawsuit and should be against EACH individual member of that committee.
Inadvertently my foot!
Intentional harassment of any individual who is not part of Team DNC!
A few years back my son wanted to get a passport with an approved alias. He needed a few witnesses, with their SSN on forms. The forms will become public record, viewable on the web. Totally screwed up rules.
Yes. We can play that game too.
I agree. Sue their asses off.
Back in the 1970s I had to take on-going classes for the field I was in at the time. Back then it was common to put the person’s social security number on the certificate earned for completing the class. These certificates were then hung in the lobby of the business for anyone to see.
It was a different time and different place back then.
“inadvertently” my sweet sainted aunt’s grape juice!
“The Democrat Party is so...chicken shtt.”
As is the opposition party that allows them to get away with it.
The DEMOCRAT party is EVIL...ALL OF THEM
Class action lawsuit needs to filed right now. Criminal charges would be nice too.
Political retribution at its finest.
