A federal judge has decided to allow the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol Hill insurrection to obtain the Republican National Committee's ...

The House Select Committee first demanded data about the RNC's marketing emails in late February, and the RNC sued in March to block the handover of its information. Moreover, even the RNC's own confidential information that is undeniably at issue is relatively narrow in scope," Kelly wrote. The House panel will not obtain the Republican email marketing information immediately, however.

"The subpoena's valid legislative purpose is apparent enough to sustain it against this challenge."

Lawyers for Mark Meadows alleged in a court filing on Friday that the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is seeking to "vilify" him publicly by leaking his text messages to the press. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of two Republicans serving on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, said he would "love" to see former Vice President Mike Pence appear before the committee. A federal judge on Sunday rejected a bid from the Republican National Committee seeking to block its email vendor from releasing records to the Jan. 6 select committee. - The Jan. 6 committee sought documents from the RNC's fundraising platform vendor, owned by Salesforce, which the committee says could contain evidence of fundraising practices based on falsehoods that may have contributed to the attack. Mark Meadows claims Jan. 6 committee seeks to "vilify" him Judge rejects RNC request to block email records from Jan. 6 committee

The select committee issued its subpoena to Salesforce in late February, and the RNC sued several days later to block the demand.

Through the subpoena, the select committee seeks information that will help it understand whether and how much those email campaigns attracted attention and thus were a factor in the January 6 attack." "The Select Committee is hardly on an unconstrained 'fishing expedition' into the RNC's records," he wrote. It specifically demanded five categories of information, including records of login sessions by Trump campaign or RNC staff into Salesforce's platform, and documents regarding investigative reports or analyses by Salesforce regarding events in Washington on January 5 or January 6.

A judge denied a Republican National Committee bid to block the Jan. 6 committee from getting email and fundraising data from communications vendor ...

The RNC has said that disclosure of the email data by Salesforce would "frustrate" its "ability to pursue political goals such as winning elections and advocating for its policies." The ruling stemmed from the RNC's lawsuit against the House select committee and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in early March following the Feb. 23 subpoena. "Through the subpoena, the select committee seeks information that will help it understand whether and how much those email campaigns attracted attention and thus were a factor in the January 6 attack," Kelly wrote. As the court has already explained, the select committee seeks reasonably relevant information from a narrow window during which the RNC sent emails promoting claims that the presidential election was fraudulent or stolen." “This action has absolutely nothing to do with getting the private information of voters or donors.” Kelly also said he didn't agree with the RNC's argument that the House committee lacks the proper authorization to wield investigative power.

A federal judge upheld a House subpoena for records of the GOP's mass-email campaign to convince voters that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, ...

The House select committee investigating the Capitol riot issued a valid subpoena to Salesforce.com Inc., a vendor that helped with the Republican email campaign during and after the election, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly in Washington ruled late Sunday.

A federal judge on Sunday night rejected the Republican National Committee's request to block a subpoena for Salesforce to hand over fundraising emails to ...

But on the record here, whatever competitive harm may come to the RNC from disclosure of the actual material at issue is too 'logically attenuated' and 'speculative' to defeat the Select Committee's weighty interest.' 'Nothing suggests that the Select Committee is demanding, or that Salesforce is preparing to produce, internal RNC memoranda laying out its digital strategy,' Kelly ruled. The National Republican Senatorial Committee supported their argument, submitting its own brief comparing the committee's subpoena to Watergate. The RNC sued the House panel on March 9 after it subpoenaed Salesforce, which tracks donor information for the committee. Nancy Pelosi's attempted seizure of her political opponents' campaign strategy cannot be allowed to stand, and we appreciate Judge Kelly continuing to temporarily block the subpoena,' he said. - The RNC also sued Salesforce to block the vendor from handing over data to the committee

“Nancy Pelosi’s attempted seizure of her political opponents’ campaign strategy cannot be allowed to stand, and we appreciate Judge Kelly continuing to temporarily block the subpoena,” Raymer added. “The subpoena’s demand for this information does not seek the disclosure of ‘confidential’ internal materials and does not add to the RNC’s burden,” Kelly wrote. While it appears that the company could have to cough up the records eventually, Kelly stated that Salesforce cannot be made to hand over any materials to House investigators until Wednesday, giving the RNC sufficient time to appeal his ruling. As the court has already explained, the select committee seeks reasonably relevant information from a narrow window during which the RNC sent emails promoting claims that the presidential election was fraudulent or stolen.” In a late Sunday decision, U.S. district judge Timothy J. Kelly shot down the Republican National Committee’s attempt to block the House select committee investigating January 6 from acquiring emails and fundraising data from Salesforce, a cloud-based software company hired by the RNC during the last election cycle. In turn, the RNC argued in a lawsuit that the subpoena violates the First Amendment and would hurt its “ability to pursue political goals such as winning elections and advocating for its policies.” But Kelly, who serves on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, rejected the RNC’s argument, citing both the House members’ legitimate interest in the data and their immunity from such a lawsuit, among other things, in his 53-page ruling.
