Federal Appeals Court Weighs Legality of Justice Department Seizing Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry’s Cellphone

The U.S. Court of Appeals is currently deciding whether the Justice Department was legally allowed to seize Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry's cellphone last year. Perry, an ally of former President Donald Trump, is arguing that the Speech or Debate Clause of the Constitution protects him from certain investigative steps. The court has yet to make a ruling on the matter, and the decision will have implications for the future of the investigation into the Capitol attack.
