Ted Cruz Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Ted Cruz has been at the center of several major headlines over the past few days, mixing controversy, committee action, and the ever-present swirl of social media. The big breaking news is that Axios reports Cruz’s phone records were secretly targeted by Special Counsel Jack Smith as part of the investigation into Donald Trump and the events surrounding January 6th. According to the report, the Justice Department under Biden sent a subpoena to AT&T for Cruz’s records, though the company did not comply. Cruz called it “21st-century digital Watergate,” accusing the administration of weaponizing the DOJ and FBI and demanding wide-range accountability investigations. On Fox News’ Hannity, Cruz went further, labeling the subpoenas as a clear abuse of power and warning it sets a dangerous precedent for political spying.
In his official Senate capacity, Cruz has remained active as Chair of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. He led an executive session on October 21st, spotlighting not only legislative nominations but also new bills. Notably, Cruz is backing and sponsoring the ROTOR Act and the new PIPELINE Safety Act, keeping his influence strong on energy and infrastructure policy. The session was streamed live, amplifying Cruz’s presence in both policy circles and the press.
Social media buzzed with chatter about Cruz this week due to an incident involving viral protest footage. Politifact reports Cruz incorrectly amplified claims that MSNBC aired old 2017 footage during coverage of the massive “No Kings” rally in Boston, which actually took place on October 18th and drew more than 125,000 attendees. After fact-checks debunked the recycled video conspiracy, Cruz’s post was deleted but not before sparking heated debate online. This episode played into broader patterns of misinformation and digital crowd control, with Cruz front and center in the controversy as well as its correction.
On the federal shutdown front, Cruz recently spoke with ABC News about his views on government gridlock, free speech, and even Jimmy Kimmel, but the most relevant tidbit is his calm insistence that Congress should always defend core constitutional rights even in times of heightened partisan drama.
Business activity has remained relatively subdued for Cruz this week, with no significant new deals or ventures publicly announced as of this morning. There have been no personal appearances reported in the past 24 hours, but his committee hearing and media interviews keep him in the public eye.
