Secret Service deleted emails sought in Jan. 6 probe, watchdog says
The U.S. Secret Service deleted text messages from Jan. 5 and 6, 2021, shortly after a domestic watchdog requested them, according to a letter from the Department of Homeland Security. The letter, from the DHS inspector general, was first reported by The Intercept and shared with the Jan. 6 committee as well as the House and Senate Homeland Security committees. “It’s obviously worrying. And if there’s a way to reconstruct the texts or what have you, we will,” committee chairman Bennie Thompson told Axios on Jan. 6. “I think it’s important for us to get as much information as possible about how this discrepancy came about and move forward from there.” The Secret Service told the IG’s office that the collection of messages was deleted as part of a “device replacement” program, according to the letter, though that’s apparently not the only irregularity. A Secret Service spokesman said the guard’s claims were “categorically false,” adding that the agency would issue a more detailed response later. Shweta SharmaJuly 15, 2022 05:07 1657856781
