from the secret service. the secret service reportedly handed over one single text to the committee, despite a request for all of the text messages from two dozen secret service personnel concerning the four-week period around the capitol attack. and steve bannon is back in court for day three of his criminal contempt trial, and we ll tell you what witnesses are saying. we have all these angles covered. we begin in washington, a single text, that s all the secret service provided to the dhs inspector general. what happened here? reporter: well, that s what they re working to figure out. so what the secret service says now is that they are still going back through just to make sure that nothing was the collateral damage of a very we know now was an ill-timed data migration that wiped phones for several members of the secret service. so what we know is that they have already handed over to the house select committee per subpoena more than 10,000 documents. the secret serv
