The House select committee investigating the 6 January 2021 attack on the Capitol appears to have obtained evidence showing at least one Republican member gave an unauthorised tour on the day before a mob of former president Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the building.
In a letter to Georgia Representative Barry Loudermilk, select committee chairman Bennie Thompson and vice-chair Liz Cheney informed Mr Loudermilk, a Georgia Republican, that the nine-member panel has obtained information regarding a tour he allegedly led on the eve of the attack on the Capitol.
