Report: FBI Investigating Members of Congress as Riot ‘Suspects’!
By WND. Hundreds of people have been investigated for their roles in the riot at the U.S. Capitol in January, and many have been arrested and face charges ranging from trespassing on up.
Now, some members of Congress also are being investigated by the FBI as suspectets, the Intercept reported.
Within hours of the riot, the FBI began obtaining thousands of phone and electronic records involving people at the scene, including members of Congress, the publication said.
“Using special emergency powers and other measures, the FBI has collected reams of private cellphone data and communications that go beyond the videos that rioters shared widely on social media,” the Intercept said, citing two sources.
The FBI obtained the information through emergency orders that do not require court authorization as well as data downloads from cellphone towers in the area. (Read more from “Report: FBI Investigating Members of Congress as Riot ‘Suspects’!” HERE)
