An association that represents federal law enforcement has warned Secret Service employees that their personal phone numbers “will likely be used” in criminal probes after they were handed over by the agency in the fallout over its deleted texts from Jan. 5 and 6, 2021.
The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association has encouraged its members within the Secret Service to seek legal counsel if anyone attempts to contact them about their personal records.
“Exactly whose numbers were provided, to whom and for what purpose have yet to be determined however, the information will likely be used for a criminal investigation into the USSS employee,” the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association told Secret Service employees in a letter Tuesday.
