Unless he or others left a voice mail.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., seems very, very afraid of what might turn up if the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol acquires his phone records.
For months, he has tried to skirt fellow lawmakers attempts to understand what role his actions played during the deadly riot earlier this year. His desperate spin job continued Sunday during an appearance on Fox News Sunday Morning Futures.
Speaking to host Maria Bartiromo, McCarthy complained that the House select committee which includes both Democrats and Republicans was too partisan before falsely claiming Congress has no right to subpoena phone records.
It is purely politics, he said. Congress does not have the right to go after mine or your phone number records.
Hes wrong. Congress is, in fact, authorized to request phone and social media data if those records are deemed relevant to their investigations. Nonetheless, he has tried to intimidate companies out of complying, threatening in August that they could be subject to losing their ability to operate in the United States" if they cooperate with the committee's requests.
