attack, signaling a massive investigative effort!!!
The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack demanded several US government agencies to hand over a massive amount of documents that signal it intends to undertake a sprawling probe of security failures and attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
The requests echo those previously issued by other House committees in the aftermath of the January 6 riot, while significantly broadening the search to other areas and people inside and outside government.
Specifically, the select committee is asking for records from the
Department of Justice
Department of the Interior
Department of Defense
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence
The Federal Bureau of Investigation,
The National Counterterrorism Center
The Department of Homeland Security and...
perhaps most importantly, the National Archives -- the custodian of the rump administration White House records.

"The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol is examining the facts, circumstances, and causes of the January 6th attack.
Our Constitution provides for a peaceful transfer of power, and this investigation seeks to evaluate threats to that process, identify lessons learned and recommend laws, policies, procedures, rules, or regulations necessary to protect our republic in the future," committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi, wrote in a statement Wednesday.
Several of the letters request "all documents and communications" related in any way to the rump and members of his family who served in official roles at the White House, including: former First Lady Melania Trump and top advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
