Jan. 6 Committee Accused of Violating House Rules by Refusing to Provide Reports

The special partisan committee House Speaker Nancy Pelosi set up to pursue her political agenda regarding the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol last year already has been found to be refusing to give Republicans information about those events.

Now a report reveals the committee is further stonewalling information by refusing to provide the required monthly reports to House members.

"On Jan. 19, House Republicans investigating the Jan. 6 security breach demanded House administration chair Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., enforce rules that mandate the regular release of reports on committee progress."

Jim Banks, R-Ind., and Rodney Davis, R-Ill., said, "Monthly reports for all Committees are supposed to be posted on the Committee on House Administration's website to ensure transparency and provide accountability for Committee investigation and use of official resources."

The Congressional Handbook lists the required information to include statement of expenses, reports of travel, committee employees, titles and salaries, and a certification that the report is available to members of the committee for examination.

"Reviewing these monthly reports and tracking committee spending is an essential part of transparency and it is concerning that such information has been kept from the American people."

The report explained that Pelosi's committee "Has operated entirely in secret just as the Democrats' ad hoc impeachment inquiry on the pretext of Ukraine did in 2019, with J6 committee members deposing private citizens whose appearance is compelled under questionable authority."
