The Secret Service was only able to provide a single text exchange to the DHS inspector general who had requested a month's worth of records for 24 Secret Service personnel, according to a letter to the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021.
The revelation provides insight into the concern raised in a recent letter to Congress by the inspector general, who accused the agency of not retaining records needed for the January 6 investigation.
A second request in March from several House committees specifically requested communications"received, prepared or sent" between January 5 and January 7.The agency explained that it was up to employees to conduct the necessary preservation of records from their phones. The letter said the service did provide personnel a"step-by-step" guide to preserve mobile phone content, including text messages, prior to the phone migration that began January 27.
