The Jan. 6 select committee tasked with investigating the deadly attack at the Capitol is calling for a trio of House Republicans to cooperate voluntarily with its investigation, according to letters sent to the lawmakers on Monday.
The panel, probing the Capitol riots in which supporters of defeated President Donald Trump tried to overturn President Joe Biden's 2020 victory, wants cooperation from GOP Reps. Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks, and Ronny Jackson.
“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 Bennie Thompson and Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney said in a statement.
The committee cited Brooks’s public comments that the former president “asked me to rescind the election of 2020,” in its request that he appear before the committee. Brooks, of Alabama, recently lost his endorsement from Trump for his 2022 Senate bid.
