Rep. Liz Cheney: Jan. 6 committee got around 800,000 pages from Secret Service
Merdie Nzanga, USA TODAY -
Rep. Liz Cheney said the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol received around 800,000 pages of communication materials from the Secret Service, but she noted that most text messages from around that date, which the committee had requested, were not recovered.
The texts themselves, in many cases, are gone or other forms of communication, like Teams messages and emails, and other forms of communication we have received probably about 800,000 pages," Cheney, R-Wyo., said Saturday at the Texas Tribune Festival.
The committee investigating the attack on the Capitol subpoenaed the Secret Service in July for text messages agents reportedly deleted around Jan. 6, 2021. The Secret Service deleted messages from Jan. 5 and 6 after the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general had requested the records.

The missing text messages could have corroborated the June testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. She testified that former Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations Tony Ornato told her there was a confrontation between former President Donald Trump and his Secret Service detail in Trump's vehicle on Jan. 6.
