WASHINGTON — The House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection asked Rep. Barry Loudermilk on Thursday to voluntarily cooperate with the inquiry about a tour it says the Georgia Republican led in the Capitol complex the day before the attack.
“We write to seek your voluntary cooperation in advancing our investigation. Based on our review of evidence in the Select Committee’s possession, we believe you have information regarding a tour you led through parts of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021,” Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., wrote to Loudermilk.
The letter states that public reporting and witness accounts indicate some people and groups tried to obtain information about the layout of the Capitol — and the office buildings of the House and Senate — in advance of Jan. 6.
