He said the panel"seeks the relevant text messages, as well as any after action reports that have been issued in any and all divisions of the USSS pertaining or relating in any way to the events of January 6, 2021."A watchdog for the DHS briefed the panel in a closed meeting While lawmakers were tight-lipped about what they heard, the closed-door briefing with the inspector general, Joseph Cuffari, came two days after his office sent a letter to leaders of the House and Senate Homeland Security committees stating that Secret Service agents erased messages between Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021"as part of a device-replacement program.
He said the Secret Service had started to reset its mobile devices to factory settings in January 2021"as part of a pre-planned, three-month system migration." In that process, some data was lost.
