House Panel Investigating The Capitol Attack Orders 35 Companies To Preserve Records

«The Select Committee is investigating the facts, circumstances, and causes of the January 6th attack and issues relating to the peaceful transfer of power, in order to identify and evaluate lessons learned and to recommend to the House and its relevant committees corrective laws, policies, procedures, rules, or regulations,» Committee Chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said in a statement.

In individually addressed letters, Thompson details further why the recipients are believed to have important information for the panel.

Thompson tells Meadows, for instance, that he has «critical information regarding many elements of our inquiry,» including engaging in multiple efforts to contest the presidential election that Trump lost.

Republicans have painted the committee, which is mostly made up of Democrats, as nothing more than a partisan exercise.
