House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy warned "a Republican majority will not forget" telecommunications companies that turn over phone records to the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
More than 30 companies including Apple, AT&T and Verizon, received a request for phone records from congressional investigators Monday.
"If these companies comply with the Democrat order to turn over private information, they are in violation of federal law and subject to losing their ability to operate in the United States,” McCarthy said in a statement Tuesday. “If companies still choose to violate federal law, a Republican majority will not forget and will stand with Americans to hold them fully accountable under the law.”
McCarthy did not specify which federal law.

In Texas, 666 Laws Take Effect Sept. 1, Including Many Conservative Priorities
In Texas, more than 650 new laws go into effect Wednesday passed by the Republican-led state legislature in the 2021 regular session. Among them are top conservative priorities passed in other red states around the country this year, but none as big as Texas with more than 29 million residents.
Meanwhile, Texas Democrats have returned to the state after leaving to protest a restrictive voting law. That bill eventually passed Tuesday but won't immediately become law.

OxyContin-Maker Purdue Pharma Launched A Stealth Campaign To Sway U.S. Officials
Purdue Pharma launched a behind-the-scenes effort in recent days aimed at discouraging the Justice Department from appealing a pending multibillion-dollar bankruptcy settlement for the OxyContin-maker.
NPR acquired an early draft of a letter distributed by the drug company to groups supportive of the bankruptcy deal.
The letter is framed as a direct appeal to DOJ officials and purports to be written by those injured by the company and members of the Sackler family.
"We collectively speak for the overwhelming majority of the state and local governments, organizations, and individuals harmed by Purdue and the Sacklers," the letter states.
There is no mention in the document of the company's role launching the effort or crafting the message.
Ryan Hampton, an opioid activist who served on a key committee negotiating the bankruptcy deal, expressed outrage at Purdue Pharma's effort.
"This letter was highly inappropriate. It was wrong," Hampton told NPR. "It was written, proposed and pushed at the eleventh hour at the beckoning of Purdue Pharma."
Hampton, who is in recovery from opioid addiction, said he resigned his position as co-chair of the so-called unsecured creditor's committee Tuesday to protest the lobbying effort.
"Why is this letter coming from Purdue's counsel recommending that all creditors sign onto it? This just didn't look right," Hampton said.
The preemptive pressure campaign comes as federal Judge Robert Drain has signaled he will approve the plan Wednesday at a hearing in White Plains, N.Y.
Three sources with close knowledge of the effort described it in detail to NPR.
Two of the individuals suggested Purdue Pharma was engaged in a good-faith bid to protect a fragile settlement, which has gained backing from most of the state and local governments that sued the Sacklers and their drug company.
A third source expressed discomfort with the company's efforts to dissuade the DOJ from filing an appeal.
All three indicated a Justice Department challenge of a confirmed plan appears likely, though not certain.
They agreed to speak only on background because of the sensitive nature of last-minute negotiations aimed at building additional support for the deal.
The letter warns that any Justice Department appeal would "jeopardize the delivery of billions of dollars" to communities struggling with high rates of addiction, overdose and death.
The document's language suggests Purdue Pharma hoped it would eventually be signed by state attorneys general, local government officials, hospitals and a group representing individual victims of the company's opioid products.
Purdue Pharma declined to answer questions about the letter or the bankrupt company's bid to influence DOJ decision-making.
The Justice Department hasn't said conclusively whether it will challenge the settlement in court and declined NPR's request for comment.
