WASHINGTON — U.S. Capitol Police have determined that U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., did nothing wrong when he joined a group of constituents touring the Capitol complex on Jan. 5, 2021.
Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger signed a letter outlining his agency's review of security footage from that day after conducting an investigation requested by U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, the ranking Republican member of the House Administration Committee. Davis' request was filed after the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot asked Loudermilk for information about the tour.
The two congressmen both criticized the committee's request. Loudermilk has called the committee's investigation a "political circus," and he faulted the panel's members for releasing its letter to the public before he had received it.
