A prominent former Republican strategist made a stunning claim on Thursday about the party's latest "freak out" over subpoenaed phone records.
President Donald Trump's Department of Justice recently revealed that former special counsel Jack Smith had subpoenaed the phone records of several prominent Republicans. One lawmaker who was targeted, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), said in a statement on X that the investigation was an attempt to "dismantle the Republican Party, destroy me and other elected members of Congress, and take down President Trump."
"I’ve seen this before," Scott continued. "Biden’s IRS released my tax records. Clinton’s DOJ came after me for going against Hillarycare. This is the same disgusting corruption."
Stuart Stevens, a senior advisor to the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project, responded to Scott's statement with an eye-popping claim.
"The reason so many in the Republican Party are freaking out about their phone records before and during Jan 6th is that they know the insurrection was a coordinated attack involving all levels of the Republican Party," he wrote on X.
Stevens added that the phone records could show coordination between the White House, Senators and their staff, the Attorney General's Association, and major Republican donors.
"I’m not worried about anyone seeing my phone records around Jan 6th. Are you?" Stevens added.
