FBI Memo Says Jan. 6 Panel’s 30 Million Phone Records Were Offered to Bureau

Overview

• An FBI memo reported by Just the News says former Rep. Adam Kinzinger offered the bureau roughly 30 million lines of phone toll data in December 2023.
• The records were compiled for the Jan. 6 committee by former Rep. Denver Riggleman using congressional subpoenas and included links to White House switchboard numbers.
• The memo notes Kinzinger did not conduct the analysis, credits Riggleman with mapping connections to the Trump White House, and does not indicate whether the FBI took possession.
• Conservative legal advocates described the collection as a potential civil-rights violation and a political surveillance effort, citing the volume and sensitivity of the data.
• The revelation arrives as Republicans seek answers about related metadata collection in the Biden‑era Arctic Frost probe, which reportedly captured phone records and personal messages from multiple GOP lawmakers and conservative groups.
