Four organizers of the January 6 'Save America' rally are suing Verizon in an attempt to prevent the phone giant from handing over cell phone data to the House select committee on January 6.
Politico reported Monday that organizers Justin Caporale, Tim Unes, Megan Powers and Maggie Mulvaney filed a lawsuit arguing the committee doesn't have the proper authority to obtain the data.
The committee's subpoena to Verizon, which requests call, text and location information, 'lacks a lawful purpose and seeks to invade the plaintiffs' constitutional rights to privacy and to confidential political communications,' the lawsuit said.
