House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy issued a statement Tuesday urging companies not to hand over private data to the Select Committee investigating the Capitol riot.
The statement follows a request Monday made by the Select Committee to 35 tech, social media and telecommunications companies asking them to preserve a wealth of personal information of individuals involved in the events at the Capitol, including addresses, telephone numbers, IP addresses, bank account numbers and names. The committee also requested communications records, including emails, texts and recorded phone messages.
