The FCC Commissioner Echoing Kevin McCarthy Is Married To McCarthy’s Counsel
HuffPost
Brendan Carr didn’t mention this as he defended the GOP leader’s dubious claim that it would be illegal for telecom companies to preserve call records.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) threatened this week to retaliate against telecom and tech companies that comply with a House committee’s request to preserve call records for certain people connected to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. McCarthy also warned ― incorrectly, according to legal experts ― that preserving such records would be illegal. One of the few voices publicly defending McCarthy’s dubious claim is Federal Communications Commission member Brendan Carr, who has oversight over telecom companies. But neither Carr nor McCarthy have mentioned their clear conflict of interest as they echo each other’s arguments: Carr is married to McCarthy’s general counsel, Machalagh Carr.
