PHOENIX -- Members of a congressional panel are going to find out who
was communicating with Arizona Republican chair Kelli Ward around the
time of the 2020 election and the insurrection attempt that followed.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected the bid by Ward, who chairs
the Arizona Republican Party, to shield the record of her calls and
texts from the committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot. The justices
gave no reason for their decision.
Monday's order leaves Ward with no recourse. But Alexander Kolodin,
her attorney, said there is something to be said about the fact that
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the
order. They said they would have granted her request to delay the
order of U.S. District Court Judge Diane Humetewa directing T-Mobile,
the company that has the records, to surrender them to Congress and
let the full court debate the issue.
