Jordan Releases Subpoena Showing DOJ Sought 28 Months of His Phone Metadata

The disclosure sharpens Republican scrutiny of DOJ secrecy orders.

Overview

  • An April 25, 2022 grand-jury subpoena directed Verizon to provide Jim Jordan’s call-detail records spanning Jan. 1, 2020 through April 2022.
  • The order sought toll data and related metadata such as timestamps, numbers, location, IP addresses and payment details, not the content of calls or texts.
  • A D.C. magistrate imposed a one-year nondisclosure on Verizon, citing risks including destruction of evidence, witness intimidation and jeopardy to the investigation.
  • Verizon says it produced records under court order and later shared new information with Jordan as it cooperates with House and Senate inquiries.
  • Jordan calls the action “spying” and is escalating oversight with deposition demands and document requests, including letters to major banks about any requests tied to Jack Smith’s investigations.
