The House committee chairman Bennie Thompson has written to the Republican minority leader
The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack formally asked the Republican House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, on Wednesday to cooperate with its inquiry into the 6 January insurrection, escalating the pressure on Donald Trump’s top allies in Congress.
The select committee said in a letter to McCarthy that investigators were seeking his cooperation on a range of topics including his contacts and conversations with Trump before, during and after the Capitol attack.
