Judge Diane Humetewa said Kelli Ward failed to show there would be 'irreparable harm'' from the release of the information.

Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services PHOENIX 3— A federal judge won't delay her order giving the phone records of the chair of the Arizona Republican Party to the Jan. 6 committee.

"An injunction would thus make it impossible for the Select Committee to obtain the subpoenaed records,'' Humetewa wrote. And the judge said that tips the legal balance in favor of Congress — and against Ward. Douglas Letter, legal counsel to the House, said the committee, studying the events leading up to the Jan. 6 riot, needs to know how Ward's activities played into all that. That would include with whom she was in contact at the time.

The subpoena seeks only the phone numbers of those who were in contact with Ward, not the actual content of the texts or conversations. Despite that, Ward argued that just the disclosure of her political contacts will"chill'' the interest of members of the party in communicating with her. "You will have the opportunity to see many of Kelli's internal and external communications,'' according to promotional material for the book.
