Last December we sued Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for their controversial impeachment-related subpoenas for phone records, including those of Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's lawyer.
The phone records led to the publication of the private phone records of Giuliani, Congressman Devin Nunes, journalist John Solomon, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, attorney Victoria Toensing and other American citizens.
In their 14-page motion Schiff and the committee claim "Sovereign immunity;" "Speech or Debate Clause" privilege; immunity from FOIA and transparency law; that the records are secret; and that the public doesn't need to see them.
We filed our lawsuit under the public's common-law right of public access to examine government records after it received no response to a December 6, 2019, records request (Judicial Watch v. Adam Schiff and U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (No.
All subpoenas issued by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on or about September 30, 2019 to any telecommunications provider including, but not limited to AT&T, Inc., for all records of telephone calls of any individuals.
The records are of critical public importance as the subpoenas were issued without any lawful basis and violated the rights of numerous private citizens.
Schiff's new court filing is an effort to try to avoid disclosing his abusive subpoenas of confidential phone records.
