Diversity Makes Greatness
"The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol demanded records Wednesday of communications related to the assault among federal officials and a host of Trump staffers and allies, including some family members.
In letters to eight federal agencies, including the Justice and Defense departments, the FBI and the National Counterterrorism Center, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chairman of the bipartisan committee, requested a trove of specific communications. Thompson set a deadline of Sept. 9 for the records and warned that refusing to produce them would be met with subpoenas.
The letters were sent nearly eight months after the attack, in which hundreds of former President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol to interrupt the counting of electoral votes solidifying Joe Biden’s victory as president. The wide-ranging requests are a window into the broad and comprehensive way the committee appears to be investigating the attack, as well as the run-up to it and its aftermath."
Trump family, senior aides targets of demands by Jan 6. committee
"Notably, Thompson also demanded all documents and communications at all within the White House on Jan. 6 involving or related to more than 30 people, such as members of Trump’s family, members of the Trump administration and close personal confidants of Trump. The request named Rudy Giuliani, a personal lawyer for Trump; Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff; White House counsel Pat Cipollone; national security adviser Robert O’Brien; Trump’s three eldest children, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.; first lady Melania Trump; former national security adviser Michael Flynn; and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.
Thompson also asked the National Archives for all White House visitors and call logs from Jan. 6.

In his letter to the National Archives, Thompson also sought records and communications between White House officials and state government officials in states where the 2020 election results were close, including Republican Govs. Doug Ducey of Arizona and Brian Kemp of Georgia."
