Rizzo claims that phone records will show he „initially volunteered information to the FBI about potential local public corruption“ more than six years ago. He is seeking his phone records from January of 2011 through December 2015, claiming AT&T does not issue records that far back without a subpoena.

Rizzo, 47, of Bloomfield Hills, believes the phone records can help show his „extraordinary record of cooperation“ with the federal government and corroborate when he actually started cooperating with the FBI as a confidential source.
