Department Of Defense ‘wiped’ phones of Trump-era leaders, erasing Jan. 6 texts

American Oversight filed a public records request for the communications of former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller and former Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy in the days after the attack on the Capitol.
But they were informed during litigation that the records were not preserved.
