House GOP alleges January 6 committee withheld transcripts that undercut some of their most explosive claims | CNN Politics
Thompson asserted that their investigation "took into account the testimony of all witnesses, including the testimony that was released today" and the conclusion was that Trump was "irate" when his security detail told them he could not march to the Capitol.
"The Select Committee also explained clearly why the committee was obligated to send certain transcripts to the executive branch for review and released detailed letters addressing this matter, Loudermilk's failure to mention the Select Committee's December 22, 2022, letter is deceptive. The Select Committee was obligated to take these steps in order to protect sensitive information as well as the privacy of witnesses. These facts are inconvenient to Mr. Loudermilk, so he ignores them as he continues to smear the Select Committee's work," he said in a statement.
"Loudermilk is merely trying to deflect from Donald Trump's responsibility for the violence of January 6th and his own refusal to answer the Select Committee's questions," he added.
