After the inspector generals office requested the Secret Services January 6 communications, the effort was shut down
Top officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector generals office interfered with efforts to recover erased Secret Service texts from the time of the US Capitol attack and attempted to cover up their actions, two House committees said in a letter on Monday.
Taken together, the new revelations appear to show that the chief watchdog for the Secret Service and the DHS took deliberate steps to stop the retrieval of texts it knew were missing, and then sought to hide the fact that it had decided not to pursue that evidence.
The inspector generals office had initially sought to retrieve the lost texts from across the DHS spanning both the Secret Service as well as the former DHS secretary Chad Wolf and his deputy, Ken Cuccinelli as part of its internal review into January 6.
