Jan 6 committee seeks info from 3 GOP congressmen!

CNN January 6 committee sends letters to 3 more GOP House members seeking information

The House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol Hill insurrection sent letters Monday to three additional Republican congressmen, asking that they voluntarily cooperate with the ongoing probe.

The three GOP lawmakers who received letters are: Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Mo Brooks of Alabama and Ronny Jackson of Texas. The committee has previously sent letters to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, as well as Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Jim Jordan of Ohio.

"The Select Committee has learned that several of our colleagues have information relevant to our investigation into the facts, circumstances, and causes of January 6th. As we work to provide answers to the American people about that day, we consider it a patriotic duty for all witnesses to cooperate," Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi, and Vice Chairwoman Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican from Wyoming, said in a statement.

The committee said it is seeking information from members who "participated in meetings at the White House and had direct conversations with President Trump leading up to and during the attack on the Capitol."

Unless he felt he had done something criminal?
