- Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., brought a formal complaint against Verizon on Monday, issuing a set of demands after the carrier handed over some of his phone data to the Department of Justice during the Biden Administration.
- Lawyers for Hagerty wrote in the complaint to the Federal Communications Commission, reviewed by Fox News Digital, that Verizon should publicly admit wrongdoing and discipline employees who were involved in complying with a subpoena for his phone data.
- Otherwise, the FCC should declare that Verizon violated federal law and assign an independent monitor to watch over the company, Hagerty’s lawyers wrote."Such discipline by the FCC would send a clear message that companies cannot collude with politically motivated prosecutors to violate customers’ rights," Hagerty’s lawyers wrote.
