Two top House Democrats alleged Monday that there's evidence of a cover-up in the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general investigation into deleted U.S.urged Inspector General Joseph Cuffari to "step aside" and demanded his office provide documents and interviews, citing emails indicating his office may have tried to stop efforts to obtain the USSS messages.
These include deputy IG Thomas Kait writing to a DHS official on July 27, 2021, "please use this email as a reference to our conversation where I said we no longer request phone records and text messages from the USSS relating to the events on January 6th," according to the letter. Thompson and Maloney allege they learned that Kait "removed key language" from a February memorandum to the DHS that "highlighted the importance of text messages" to the IG's investigation and criticized the department for not complying with the December 2021 request on text messages.The letter highlights the tensions between the Trump-appointed Cuffari and House Democrats after news of the missing Secret Service text messages from Jan. 5 and Jan.
