Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller files suit to block the Jan. 6 committee from getting ahold of his cell phone records, arguing his parents and siblings could be caught up in the search because he's still on the family phone plan.
, the suit says"there are no facts that show that Mr. Miller had any role in what happened there or otherwise engaged in any unlawful efforts to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power to the Biden administration."
The suit was filed by Miller and Carron Drive Apartments LP, a business in California that court filing says subscribes to a T-Mobile family plan account for Miller, his siblings and their parents. Miller's been on the account"for at least the last ten years," the suit says. "Carron Drive and Mr. Miller have filed this Complaint to obtain this Court’s protection from the Select Committee’s intrusive and unjustified attempt to violate the privacy rights that Mr. Miller and, potentially, the other members of the Miller family have under the Family Plan Account," the filing says.
The suit also alleges that the records sought by the committee would include"those evidencing sensitive, personal communications that Mr. Miller had with medical professionals and family regarding his wife and newborn daughter." The suit, however, says the committee's subpoena is seeking records that would show who Miller was communicating with, when and for how long — not the substance of those conversations.The legal action is one of several lawsuits filed by top Trump allies aimed at blocking the committee from getting phone records.
