January 6 Committee Will Turn Over Evidence

“The Justice Department has asked the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol for evidence it has accumulated about the scheme by former President Donald Trump and his allies to put forward false slates of pro-Trump electors in battleground states won by Joe Biden in 2020,” the New York Times reports.

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the chairman of the committee, “disclosed the request to reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, and a person familiar with the panel’s work said discussions with the Justice Department about the false elector scheme were ongoing. Those talks suggest that the department is sharpening its focus on that aspect of Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the election, one with a direct line to the former president.”
