Trump DOJ Seized Data from House Democrats in Leaks Probe

That's according to a committee official and two people familiar with the investigation. Prosecutors from Trump’s Justice Department subpoenaed Apple for the data, according to the people, who were granted anonymity to discuss the secret seizures.
Opening such an investigation into members of Congress is extraordinarily rare. The revelations were first reported by The New York Times.
