WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court on Monday declined to block the release of Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward's phone records to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
The justices rejected an emergency request filed by Ward, meaning that phone records associated with her T-Mobile cellphone will be disclosed to the House committee. Two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, noted in the brief order that they would have granted the application.
