GOP Lawmaker Told to Preserve Records

“The House Select Committee investigating the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 sent a letter on Monday to Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) requesting he provide information that could be crucial to the panel’s examination of efforts to overturn the election,” the Washington Post reports.

Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) added: “We also have evidence indicating that in that time frame you sent communications to the former Chief of Staff using the encrypted Signal app.”

New York Times: “To date, the panel has been reluctant to issue subpoenas for information from sitting members of Congress, citing the deference and respect lawmakers in the chamber are supposed to show one another.”
