Federal investigators gained access to email communications tied to a Republican congressman who had his phone seized by the FBI earlier this year, as well as an official from Donald Trump's Department of Justice and two of the former president's attorneys, according to court filings.
Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia revealed Friday that earlier this year, she granted DOJ investigators access to emails between Trump-connected attorneys and Rep. Scott Perry as part of the federal investigation into election subversion efforts by Trump and his allies. Perry is one of Trump's allies who chairs the House Freedom Caucus who sued after his phone was seized in August, only to later quietly drop the lawsuit in October.
The documents pertained to his autobiography outline, and six chapters of the book were about the 2020 election, according to court records. The order also showcases multiple rounds of investigative steps from the DOJ in May, June, and September. The DOJ prosecutors told a judge,"Clark penned the autobiography outline in an atmosphere charged with news that congressional committees’ investigations into the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack and other efforts to overturn the 2020 election were increasingly focusing on his role,” according to one filing Howell released.
