The Pennsylvania Republican has argued that the federal government lacks the authority to search his communications due to the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause.
In his effort to shield the records, Perry has argued that the government lacked the authority to search his communications due to protections afforded by the Constitution's “speech or debate” clause.
"What is plain is that the Clause does not shield Rep. Perry's random musings with private individuals touting an expertise in cybersecurity or political discussions with attorneys from a presidential campaign, or with state legislators concerning hearings before them about possible local election fraud or actions they could take to challenge election results in Pennsylvania," Howell wrote at the time.
The emails with Klukowski included a document supporting a framework that argued state legislatures had"the final authority on presidential elections," and later a document promoting states' ability to"Self-Convene to Appoint Presidential Electors.”
