House committees ask Biden for Trump records surrounding Jan. 6
A coalition of House committees is asking the White House and 16 other agencies to turn over a trove of documents from the Trump administration related to the electoral vote count and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
The request, spearheaded by the House Oversight Committee, asks White House chief of staff
Ron Klain to share documents “relating to the counting of the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6 or the potential for demonstrations, violence or attacks in the National Capital Region.”
The request includes the Office of the Vice President, and seeks all communications between Dec. 1 and Inauguration Day, specifically asking to relay “communications, if any, with participants in the events of Jan. 6” or their associates.
The request, joined also by the Intelligence, Homeland Security, Judiciary, Armed Services and House Administration committees, was sent to a number of other agencies, as well. The 16 agencies asked to turn over similar documents include the Department of Justice, the FBI, the National Guard, the Pentagon, U.S. Capitol Police, the sergeants at arms for both chambers, and D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department.
