Republican political operative and Donald Trump ally Roger Stone on Thursday sued members of the U.S. congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to block their attempt to acquire his phone records.
46th and current president of the United States
The congressional committee is attempting to determine who may have organized or coordinated the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the day Congress gathered to certify that Joe Biden defeated the incumbent Trump in the November 2020 presidential election.

It also names AT&T Mobility Inc., the telecommunications company that the committee has asked to provide the data.
