The identities of Republican lawmakers and aides linked to the Capitol riot by documents provided by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows will soon be revealed by House investigators, a key congressman said Monday.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), chair of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, told reporters that the documents were quite revealing.
He refused to immediately name the Republican legislators revealed in the information that we received from Mr. Meadows but said they would be identified in the future.
Information we have received has been quite revealing about members of Congress involved in the activities of Jan. 6 as well as staff, he said. Thompson spoke outside the House chambers after the committee voted in favor of a resolution recommending criminal charges against Meadows for failure to comply with a congressional subpoena to testify about the assault on the U.S. Capitol.

The judge gave Mitchell, Haldeman and Ehrlichman two concurrent 20-month-to-five year terms each on their convictions for conspiracy and obstruction of justice. He then imposed a series of concurrent 10-month-to-three-year sentences on perjury convictions against all three, to be served after the longer sentences are completed.
As he sentenced each of the three, Sirica declared, "It is the intention of this court that the defendant serve not less than 30 months nor more than eight years."
