I hadn't seen anything in the press but I wasn't searching for it.

but I can't remember where because since I retired I basically binge read. I will try to remember or find it and when or if I do I will return to post a link.
Here's the Newsweek link, but again, I don't really trust Newsweek.

They do cute CNN on the issue, though:
In January 2021, CNN reported that Reps. Andy Biggs and Mo Brookswho were both subpoenaed by the committee with Perryand Paul Gosar sought clemency from Trump in the wake of January 6, which the former president ultimately refused.
