Over 100 ‘deleted’ Jan 6 committee files recovered, says House GOP investigator

A House panel recovers “deleted” and encrypted files from the January 6 Committee

A House panel has⁣ made​ a significant discovery in its investigation into the January 6 Committee. More than 100 “deleted” and encrypted files ⁢have been recovered, according to Rep. Barry Loudermilk, the chairman ‌of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.

Loudermilk, a GOP investigator,⁤ revealed the findings ​as part of ​a counter-inquiry into the January ​6 ⁢Committee, which shut⁣ down at the beginning of 2023.​ He expressed concern about the committee’s efforts to prevent ⁢Americans from accessing all the evidence produced⁢ in their investigation.

“Our Subcommittee has recovered over 100 deleted & encrypted ⁢files. What else were they trying ‍to⁢ hide?”

This revelation⁢ comes after Loudermilk wrote a letter to Rep.⁣ Bennie Thompson, the chair of ‌the ⁣January 6 Committee, demanding access to the locked files. The pair have been⁤ exchanging letters over the ⁣past year, with ⁤Loudermilk raising⁤ concerns about the committee’s handling of video recordings and ​transcripts.

Thompson has insisted ​that ​the committee was not obligated to archive all video‌ recordings, but he acknowledged that certain ⁤sensitive materials were not properly ‍archived due to the committee’s⁣ dissolution before a review could be⁣ completed.

In his‍ latest letter,​ Loudermilk revealed that ‌one of the​ recovered files contained the identity of an individual whose testimony was not ⁣archived by the committee.‍ He⁤ also questioned the ​completeness of the committee’s digital archive, ‌suggesting ⁤that ‌some data may be ​missing.

Loudermilk has also reached out to the White House ⁤and the Department of Homeland ‍Security, seeking unedited and⁤ unredacted⁤ transcripts of‌ testimony⁣ given to the committee. He has set​ a deadline of ⁤January⁤ 24 for these requests.

It remains a mystery what information may be contained in the recovered files, but‌ there are indications that they include⁢ information shared ⁤with the ‌Department of Justice ‍and​ the Fulton County District Attorney. Former President Donald Trump, who ‌is‌ facing prosecution​ in January ⁤6-related cases, has claimed ‍that the⁤ records would have⁤ “exonerated” him.

The January 6⁣ Committee, which included both Republican and ⁢Democratic members, has faced criticism from many ⁢Republicans. Loudermilk himself has been targeted by false allegations from the committee, including claims of a “reconnaissance tour” before the Capitol breach. Now, ⁢there are allegations of obstruction.

“It‍ should come as no⁤ surprise that‌ Bennie ‍Thompson and Liz Cheney’s fake committee illegally deleted⁣ records⁤ and obstructed justice,”‍ said House ⁢GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik.

What steps is the January 6 Committee taking‌ to ‍maintain⁤ transparency and ‌safeguard against any potential cover-up or withholding ​of⁤ information, given the concerns surrounding the committee’s handling of evidence

Airman of the January 6 Committee, requesting information ​about the committee’s data⁢ storage​ and preservation procedures. In his letter, Loudermilk expressed ⁣concern that crucial​ evidence may be⁤ lost or intentionally deleted.

The recovered files include important communications, documents,⁤ and ⁢other⁣ forms⁣ of evidence that were thought to have been permanently deleted​ or ⁣hidden. This discovery raises significant questions about the committee’s transparency ⁤and integrity in handling its investigation.

The‍ January‌ 6⁤ Committee was established⁣ to investigate the‍ events that unfolded at the U.S. Capitol⁤ on January 6,⁣ 2021. It was tasked with uncovering the ⁣truth behind the⁤ riot and hold ‌those responsible accountable. ‌However, in⁣ recent ⁢months, there have been growing concerns about the committee’s impartiality and handling of evidence.

Loudermilk’s findings ​highlight the need ‌for transparency and accountability ⁢within the committee. It ⁤is⁤ essential that ⁤all evidence, regardless of its nature‍ or relevance, is‌ made available to the American public. The ⁢deletion and encryption of files undermine‍ the committee’s ⁣credibility and raise doubts about its ability ⁢to provide an accurate account of the events⁢ that took place on January 6.

Furthermore, this discovery suggests a potential cover-up or withholding of crucial information. The fact that these files were deleted or encrypted in the first place raises questions about the committee’s intentions and integrity. It ​is crucial ​that we understand why these files were “hidden” and what other evidence may have ‍been intentionally withheld from the public.

As a House ⁣panel, it is ⁤the committee’s duty to conduct‍ a fair‍ and unbiased investigation. By attempting to hide or delete​ files, the​ committee undermines the trust ⁣of the American​ people and ⁤detracts from the credibility of its ​findings. It is imperative that the committee addresses these ⁢concerns ‌and takes the necessary⁤ steps to ​ensure a transparent investigation.

In⁣ conclusion, the recovery of “deleted” and encrypted files⁢ by the House ⁣panel investigating the January 6 Committee ⁢raises serious concerns​ about⁤ the committee’s transparency, integrity, and ‌intentions. The American public deserves to know the truth and‌ have access to all evidence related ​to the events of January‍ 6. ‍It​ is the committee’s responsibility to address these⁢ concerns and ensure a fair and unbiased investigation. Only through transparency and accountability can we ⁢rebuild⁣ trust and⁢ heal the wounds inflicted on our democracy.
