Little by little, the House select committee examining the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection attempt is moving toward a more sweeping account of those fateful events that indicts not just Donald Trump but large swaths of the GOP as well.
“Based on our review of evidence in the Select Committee’s possession, we believe you have information regarding a tour you led through parts of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021,” their letter says. The key there is the committee’s claim it has “evidence” that such a tour actually did happen. That’s a pretty big assertion.
In the past, Republicans have angrily denied any role in giving participants in the insurrection tours of the Capitol complex before the storming. Those denials have been unequivocal.
