FBI analyzed phone records of senators as part of Trump Jan. 6 probe, lawmakers say
October 6, 2025
The FBI in 2023 analyzed phone records of more than a half dozen Republican lawmakers as part of an investigation into efforts by Donald Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. That’s according to information released Monday by GOP senators. The senators say the records enabled investigators to see basic information about whom the lawmakers called and the date and time of the call but not the content of the communications. The data encompassed several days during the week of Jan. 6, 2021, when pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol in a failed bid to halt the certification of the election results.
