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.
Driving the news: “It is hard to imagine a more important interest for Congress than to preserve its own ability to carry out specific duties assigned to it under the Constitution,” wrote U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly.
Kelly dismissed the RNC’s claims that the House committee’s subpoenas of Salesforce, the customer relationship management giant and a major RNC vendor, were “overbroad” and sought sensitive information.
“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,” Kelly wrote.
