RNC sues Jan. 6 panel, calls Salesforce subpoena ‘unconstitutional overreach’

The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit Wednesday to halt the House of Representatives’ Capitol riot committee from acquiring months of records from email marketing vendor Salesforce.

“The RNC is challenging this unconstitutional overreach so that one of America’s two major political parties may not use the force of government to unlawfully seize the private and sensitive information of the other,” said RNC Chief Counsel Justin Riemer.

The subpoena, first reported by Axios, seeks email data from Election Day 2020 through Jan. 6, 2021, when rioters ransacked the Capitol and disrupted certification of President Biden’s victory in the Electoral College.
