NEW: Records appear to confirm the Secret Service thwarted the internal investigation into the deleted text messages of several USSS officials from Jan 6 and also attempted to withhold documents from IG Joseph Cuffari.
Top DHS officials then demanded that the IG report be fully redacted with the exception of the report's title before being released to the public. DHS also wanted partial redactions in the report sent to Congress.
Furtherโrecords also show that DHS wanted Biden's WH general counsel involved in reviewing the final report. This appears to be highly unusual in the inspector general process, which is supposed to be independent from outside influence.
The general counsel for DHS is longtime Biden crony Jonathan Meyer. He worked for Biden in the Senate then the Obama DOJ and DHS.
