Details of those conversations could provide the committee with further insight into Trump’s state of mind at the time, Thompson wrote. “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,” Thompson wrote.
McCarthy is the latest Republican House member whose cooperation has been requested by the panel. Letters were sent recently to Rep.of Pennsylvania. Both have said they do not intend to cooperate. The committee is now actively considering how best to get members to comply with its requests, including by issuing subpoenas.
“If we can get the necessary authorities and assurances that go with it, we’ll do it,” Thompson said last week re: the requests to Jordan and Perry. “Both those individuals are important and have been implicated into this illegal activity that occurred on January 6.” In his letter to McCarthy, Thompson referred to the GOP leader’s conversation with Trump on January 11, during which McCarthy “may...have discussed with President Trump the potential he would face a censure resolution, impeachment, or removal under the 25th Amendment,” Thompson wrote.
While it’s not clear how McCarthy will respond to the request, the fact that he went from telling the truth about insurrection toJamie Raskin is shocked—shocked!—that Jim Jordan can’t be counted on to do his civic duty
