Jan. 6 Committee Deleted Encrypted Files Before Transition, Raising Oversight Concerns
- The Jan. 6 committee deleted over 100 encrypted files days before Republicans took over the majority in the House.
- A GOP-led investigation recovered the deleted files and found the identity of an individual whose testimony was not properly archived.
- Most of the recovered files are password-protected and the new committee is demanding the passwords to access them.
- The new committee is also requesting unredacted transcripts of White House and DHS interviews conducted by the old committee.
- Rep. Loudermilk believes the old committee intended to obstruct the new committee by failing to preserve critical information as required by House rules.
