Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) requesting more information about missing phones used by former special counselย Robert Muellerย during his investigation into former President Donald Trumpโ€™s 2016 campaign.

In a news release, the two senators said they were compelled to send a letter (pdf) to the agency after the DOJ failed to review more than 20 phones for federal record preservation after Grassley in September 2020 asked about a possible violation of federal record-keeping laws following a Freedom of Information Act revelation showing records on devices used by Muellerโ€™s team were deleted.

The DOJโ€™s Office of the Inspector General in September 2020, the senators wrote, told them that several phones belonging to โ€œmultiple people on then-Special Counsel Robert Muellerโ€™s investigative team were โ€˜wipedโ€™ for various reasons during [the Russia investigation].โ€ And on May 11 of this year, the inspector general said that 59 of 96 phones assigned to Muellerโ€™s team couldnโ€™t be located, according to the senators.

Relating to the phones, the two senators said they want the names of theย Special Counselโ€™s Office team members whose cell phones are not reviewed by official records, if there are any actions being taken to recover the missing phones, and whether the DOJ reviewed the devices to see if โ€œthey were used to leak sensitive or classified information,โ€ among other requests.

The Mueller probe in 2018 ultimately concluded that Trumpโ€™s campaign didnโ€™t collude with the Russian government, although Democrats in Congress have continued to accuse Trump of having a cozy relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. For the past several years, Grassley and Johnson have sent a number of requests to the DOJ about the investigation as well as asking the agency aboutย records relatingย to President Joe Bidenโ€™s sonย Hunter Biden.
