Sessions to testify under oathHouse Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler announced that an investigation into the seizure of phone data from Democratic lawmakers by the Justice Department during the Trump administration.
One of the options before the panel is to compel testimony under oath from Trump-era Attorneys General Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr, both of whom have denied knowing about the data seizure.
The inquiry will also investigate the DoJ's seizure of data from staffers working for the lawmakers, their family members, as well as journalists and others, said Nadler in a statement Monday.
"These cases are merely our first glimpse into a coordinated effort by the Trump Administration to target President Trump's political opposition. If so, we must learn the full extent of this gross abuse of power, root out the individuals responsible, and hold those individuals accountable for their actions," said Nadler.
