Trump's Justice Department seized data of House Democrats from Apple, sources confirm to ABC News.

Prosecutors with former President Donald Trump's Justice Department subpoenaed Apple for data from Democrats, aides and family members, ABC News has confirmed.'s Justice Department subpoenaed Apple for data from at least two Democrats who served on the House Intelligence Committee, as well as aides and their family members, one of whom was a minor, ABC News confirmed with four sources familiar with the investigation.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, one of the Democrats whose records were seized as part of this investigation, called for an inspector general investigation Thursday evening following the reports. "Though we were informed by the Department in May that this investigation is closed, I believe more answers are needed, which is why I believe the Inspector General should investigate this and other cases that suggest the weaponization of law enforcement by a corrupt president," he added.A spokesman for committee Republicans did not respond to questions about whether GOP members of the panel were similarly targeted or notified.

"I was notified, Don, by Apple that they did seize my records," Swalwell told CNN."It's wrong. In is what they do. They smear and they try to clear. We have seen this through the justice department by Donald Trump, whether it was the reason he was impeached for trying to go after vice president Biden at the time, or just other efforts, you know, through the Mueller investigation. And I support chairman Schiff's call for an inspector general.

DOJ seeks internal probe on seizure of Democrats' dataWASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has asked for an internal investigation after revelations that former President Donald Trump's administration seized phone data from House Democrats in 2018 as part of an aggressive leaks investigation. Why because it came to light How many times do the Republicans have to get punched in the face with yet another T**** Impeachable offense before they take ANY action?! Or are they the “nothing to see here, folks” party?! Liars must face consequences. We need to hire more prosecutors to enforce the laws and put lots of criminals in jail. We need to prosecute government leaders and media mouthpieces who lie, incite hate, violate their professional oath and tout propaganda.
