GOP Rep. Perry Says He Won't Aid ‘Illegitimate' Jan. 6 Committee

Rep. Scott Perry has announced he will not cooperate with the "Illegitimate" House January 6 committee after he was asked to answer questions about the "Stop the Steal" rally that took place at the Capitol.

Perry is the first member of Congress to be pursued by the Jan. 6 committee, but the committee has sent out dozens of subpoenas to President Donald Trump's former White House staff.

Over the course of its months-long investigation, the committee has yet to turn up any significant evidence to back up allegations that the Jan. 6 rally was the result of a premeditated plan to overturn the U.S. government, forcing the mostly-Democrat panel to expand their search.

The committee is led almost exclusively by Democrats, and Kinzinger and Cheney are the only Republicans sitting on the panel after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy advised his caucus against participating in the committee.

After Bannon ignored a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee citing his right to executive privilege, the Jan. 6 commission responded with a contempt of Congress charge against the podcast host.

These doctored images contained a quote never said by Meadows and cut out critical context, a fact which the Jan. 6 committee was eventually forced to confirm.

Democrats could attempt to pull the same stunt against Perry, but the Jan. 6 committee has thus far given no response to Perry's refusal.
