Saturday, June 12, 2021 The Commercial Review Portland, Indiana 47371 www.thecr.com $1 Justice Dept., Congress Forever a wolf probing seizure By MARY CLARE JALONICK and MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s internal watchdog launched an investigation Friday after revelations that former President Donald Trump’s adminis - tration secretly seized phone data from at least two House Democrats as part of an aggressive leaks probe. Democrats called the seizures “har - rowing” and an abuse of power. The announcement by Inspector General Michael Horowitz came shortly after Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco made the request for an internal investigation. Horowitz said he would examine whether the data subpoenaed by the Justice Department and turned over by Apple followed department policy and “whether any such uses, or the investigations, were based upon improper con - siderations.” Horowitz said he would also investigate similar Trump-era seizures of journalists’ phone records.
