Many of the documents used in the investigation were not properly archived and handed over when Republicans took power in 2023, the House subcommittee says.
House Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., sent requests to 15 federal agencies Wednesday asking for all documents that were previously turned over to the Jan. 6 Select Committee after that Democrat-led committee failed to hand over a majority of those files to the new Republican majority after the 2022 election.
Loudermilk’s House Administration Committee Subcommittee on Oversight has been investigating the response to Jan. 6 by various federal agencies and the Capitol Police as well as the investigation of the Democrat-run Jan. 6 committee and its final report.
“The Select Committee on January 6, under Chair Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney, obtained numerous productions of records from federal agencies and the DC government during its investigation. However, only a fraction of these records were properly archived and handed over to House Republicans in January 2023. Therefore Congressman Loudermilk has no choice but to re-do the work of the Select Committee,” reads a statement released by the subcommittee announcing the letters to the federal agencies.
