Senator Tuberville Raises Concerns Over Call Records
U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) claimed on Thursday that cell phone companies have been sharing call records of Republican senators with the Biden administration.
Earlier this week, the FBI disclosed that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team had monitored the private communications and phone records of several Republican Congress members, including Tuberville.
During an appearance on “The Alex Jones Show,” Tuberville voiced his frustration. “AT&T, what gives you the right to hand over information about a U.S. senator to the Justice Department without any heads-up?” he questioned, adding that it’s astonishing that a company would comply without refusal. “There has to be something illegal behind this subpoena,” he remarked, raising concerns about the implications.
According to the FBI document from September 2023, agents on Smith’s team had performed a “preliminary toll analysis” on Tuberville’s phone number.
He elaborated, saying, “Jack Smith gathered everyone and said, ‘I’m assigning you all to look into these eight senators.'” Tuberville further mentioned that soon after this information surfaced, it was reported that Kash Patel had dismissed some people involved in the investigation. “They needed to go. This never should have happened,” he added, linking it back to what he described as a compromised Justice Department.
He expressed his belief that further revelations would shed light on the alleged corruption within the Justice Department during Biden’s presidency. “What we’ve seen so far is just scratching the surface,” he asserted, emphasizing the importance of whistleblowers who provided crucial information to Patel and Dan Bongino. “Without them, we wouldn’t have a clue about what was occurring. Jack Smith shouldn’t hold any position within the Justice Department,” he concluded.
The senators under scrutiny also included Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Josh Hawley (R-Missouri), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska).
