Former Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller on Wednesday filed a complaint asking a court to block a subpoena for his phone records from the House Jan. 6 committee, claiming that the panel’s request was too broad because Miller’s account has a family plan that includes his parents.
“Because Mr. Miller’s phone number is included with other numbers assigned by T-Mobile to the Family Plan Account, in the absence of explicit instructions from the Committee, it is possible that T-Mobile may respond to the Subpoena by producing data for other numbers assigned to the Family Plan Account,” reads the 15-page complaint filed in federal court in Washington, D.C.
Citing court documents, The Hill reported that “the panel subpoenaed T-Mobile last month for records related to Miller’s cell phone number from Nov. 1, 2020 through Jan. 31, 2021, a three-month period that included the Nov. 3 election, Trump’s baseless push to sow doubt about his defeat and the pro-Trump Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.”
The committee also issued a separate subpoena to Miller in November that focused on the false statements he made to advance Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud.

House investigators say Miller was “central to Trump’s messaging ahead of the Jan. 6 rally,” where the then-president encouraged his supporters to “fight like hell.”
“You and your team prepared former President Trump’s remarks for the rally on the Ellipse on Jan. 6, you were at the White House that day, and you were with Trump when he spoke at the ‘Stop the Steal’ rally,” the committee wrote.
