text messages from secret service agents at the time of the insurrection. and now the agency is a subject of a rare criminal probe. cnn s whitney wild has more on that. reporter: two sources tell cnn that of 24 secret service agents whose text messages were requested by the attorney general last year ten had metta data showed text messages were exchanged but the content was lost due to a data migration that started after. another ten agents had no text messages at all, three had only personal text messages and one person did save a text message exchange. the big question had been what was the secret service doing to try to find these text messages? and for several days they had been conducting a rigorous probe at the request of the house select committee who sent a subpoena to the secret service saying you must find these records and conduct a rigorous investigation. what the secret service told the
thought of something else. okay. sorry. january 6 committee gets credit for looking at a lot of different things. those three names which have been almost directly tied to january 6 and the pressure, they have not been subpoenaed. they have issued the subpoenas, they have got metta data. i don t think metta data. phone records why documents, text messages. they haven t subpoenaed the three people. and it s for reasons that are not entirely clear. seems like they don t want to take the gloves off in regards to other members of congress and something the justice department doesn t care about that but if the select committee is trying to have more the authoritative

this first warrant, information to be disclosed by google. emails, drafts, metta data, pictures and files, search and web history, cookies, related records. they start hoovering up a lot of infoe about this guy early on. i know people outside the justice department are amazed when they see a search warrant documentation or a subpoena and see how much information the government is able to get. the mueller applications were the first and then you saw them go back for even more when they went back and executed the search warrant on his office. everything about his fine ansz, his relationships with foreign individuals. and eventually one thch things the justice department has the ability to do is they may start investigating one crime but it they find others, they re off to the races, which is what happened here with the campaign finance probe.
