WASHINGTON — Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, sought a pardon from former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the House committee investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election results revealed Thursday.
During the panel’s fifth hearing, members played a video clip of Cassidy Hutchinson, who was an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, as she listed off members of Congress who had sought pardons.
Those members included Reps. Andy Biggs R-Ariz., Scott Perry R-Pa.. and Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., Hutchinson said.
