The documents must confirm she \u201cfiled a motion for a protective order, motion to quash, or other legal process seeking to block compliance with the subpoena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad we not been at home, T-Mobile would have released the records without any chance of intervention from us,\u201d Ward said, blasting Pelosi\u2019s committee as being comprised by \u201cpolitical hacks whose only goal is to take down President Trump and those of us who have unwaveringly supported him and who have relentlessly stood up for election integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI refuse to lie down and have my constitutional rights trampled by a rogue committee that has no authority to do so (they aren\u2019t legislating based on this faux investigation) so I will continue to loudly and correctly fight for our great American republic that the Left is hellbent on destroying,\u201d she told Breitbart News.<\/p>\n<p>Breitbart News reviewed the Motion to Quash, which contends that the&nbsp;scope of the T-Mobile subpoena \u201cviolates Arizona state law privileges, privileges protected by the Federal Rules of Evidence, and federal statutory law protecting patient information,\u201d given Ward\u2019s role as a practicing physician, as well as her husband\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmong these documents, the Subpoena requires that T-Mobile provide \u2018subscriber information,\u2019 including all authorized users on the associated account, all phone numbers, SIM, IMSI, and other identifiers associated with the account, and the names and identifies of individuals associated with the account, including IP addresses,\u201d a complaint for the motion reads in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The production of these documents by T-Mobile concerning the Phone Number, and the Subpoena upon which this production would be based, violate the constitutional rights of the Plaintiffs, specifically implicating the protections of the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution; constitute an <em>ultra vires<\/em> action by the Committee in violation of its own Rules, the rules of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, and the fundamental basis underlying the limited congressional power to investigate for legislative purposes; violate state and federal privileges of medical privacy and physician-client communications; and substantially infringe the right to privacy guaranteed under Arizona state law by invading the Plaintiffs\u2019 seclusion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Last month, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/12\/mccarthy-i-have-concluded-to-not-participate-with-nancy-pelosis-january-6-committee\/\">made<\/a> it clear that he has no intention of participating in the committee, noting it is \u201cnot conducting a legitimate investigation as Speaker Pelosi took the unprecedented action of rejecting the Republican members I named to serve on the committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not serving any legislative purpose.
