FBI Seizes Phone of GOP Rep and Key Trump Ally Scott Perry: ‘While Traveling with My Family’

The FBI has seized the cell phone of Republican Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), a close ally of President Donald Trump, according to reports.

Perry told Fox News on Tuesday that he was “visited” by “three FBI agents” while he was traveling with his family.

He said the agents handed him a warrant and told him to hand over his cell phone.

The confiscation of the congressmanโ€™s personal phone comes one day after FBI agents raided President Donald Trumpโ€™s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida.

According to Trumpโ€™s lawyer, the FBI removed about a dozen boxes from a basement at Mar-a-Lago on Monday.

โ€œThis morning, while traveling with my family, three FBI agents visited me and seized my cell phone,” Perry said.

โ€œThey made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish.

โ€œIโ€™m outraged โ€” though not surprised โ€” that the FBI under the direction of Merrick Garlandโ€™s DOJ, would seize the phone of a sitting Member of Congress.

โ€œMy phone contains info about my legislative and political activities, and personal/private discussions with my wife, family, constituents, and friends.

โ€œNone of this is the governmentโ€™s business,โ€ he said.

โ€œAs with President Trump last night, DOJ chose this unnecessary and aggressive action instead of simply contacting my attorneys.

โ€œThese kinds of banana republic tactics should concern every Citizen โ€” especially considering the decision before Congress this week to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to further persecute law-abiding Citizens.”
