Congressman Perry says FBI agents have seized his cell phone
WASHINGTON, Aug 9 (Reuters) – Republican Congressman Scott Perry of Pennsylvania said on Tuesday that FBI agents had seized his cell phone, in yet another sign that the Justice Department’s investigation into the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol is heating up.
In a statement, Perry said three agents seized his phone while he was traveling with his family. He did not say why his phone was confiscated but said he was “outraged.”
A supporter of former President Donald Trump, Perry has been the subject of a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.
