Here's what else you should know today. The Times reports that the Justice Department has seized the phones of two top advisors to former President Donald Trump. It is also sent about 40 subpoenas to Trump's close aides. These were the most aggressive steps the department has taken to date in its criminal investigation into Trump's effort to subvert the 2020 election. Federal agents took phones from Boris Epstein, a lawyer who helped coordinate Trump's legal efforts and Mike Roman, a campaign strategist who directed election day operations for the Trump campaign. The subpoenas were issued to a wide variety of people in Trump's orbit, including Dan Scavino, Trump's former social media director, and Bernard Karack, the former New York City Police Commissioner. The widening of the January 6 investigation comes as Trump clashes with the Justice Department over a separate legal matter, the handling of presidential records, including classified materials that Trump kept in Marlago, his Florida residence.
