The House select committee investigating the January 6 riot is asking Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, to voluntarily provide information to the panel, including details about former President Donald Trump's state of mind during the Capitol attack and in the weeks after, according to a new letter released Wednesday.
The request marks a significant moment in the ongoing investigation as the committee is now seeking cooperation from the top Republican in the House. "We also must learn about how the President's plans for January 6th came together, and all the other ways he attempted to alter the results of the election," wrote committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi.
