According to a notice filed in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, the subpoena aims to collect records from AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile US Inc. covering the period from approximately February 2020 to October 2023. These records include call attempts, voice and text message transactions, and the numbers with which Jones communicated.
This action is part of a broader litigation landscape concerning Jones, who has been under scrutiny for potential misconduct. The scope of investigation underscores the administrator’s focus on uncovering any hidden interactions that could have influenced the outcomes of cases overseen by Jones.
