WASHINGTON — Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson was interviewed last week by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.
This conversation, which was virtual, was taped and on the record, as a follow-up to previous conversations she and the state Bureau of Elections had with committee investigators to provide background information, Benson spokeswoman Tracy Wimmer said.
The interview comes ahead of the Democrat-led committee's first public hearings, which are set to begin Thursday night and run through next week on Capitol Hill, focused on the findings of its 11-month investigation.
