The committee investigating the attack on the Capitol subpoenaed the Secret Service in July for text messages agents reportedly deleted around Jan. 6, 2021.
Schiff said the committee has a lot of information it needs to look over, but he thinks"it's fair to say that," it will not be a replacement"for some of the most critical evidence, which would have been on the phones."Schiff also criticized the Department of Justice's handling of the Capitol attack.
Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said on CBS'"Face the Nation," referencing the documents that the Secret Service gave to the committee that"these are still not the text messages that were discussed before, but these seem to be communications internally amongst staff members. So, there's a lot of information that our investigative team has been going through."
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said on NBC's"Meet the Press," Sunday, that Wednesday's hearing will focus on details that have been brought to the committee over the last five or six weeks. Raskin also said he feels more confident that the Department of Justice will be following up on the Jan. 6 attacks.
