BREAKING: Damning New Report Exposes January 6 Committee, Nancy Pelosi

House Republicans on Monday uncovered that the previous Congress, led by Democratic former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, deleted over 100 encrypted files just days before the GOP took the majority in 2023, Fox News has learned.

Congressman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), who chairs the House Administration Committee’s Oversight Subcommittee, said the development comes with the select committee’s investigation into the January 6th, 2021 riots at the Capitol. Republicans have long slammed the inquiry as a sham intended to implicate former President Donald Trump.

A “new phase” of Loudermilk’s examination will include demanding that Democrats provide passwords to the 117 encrypted files that his team has been able to recover. Sources say the files were deleted and encrypted on January 1, 2023, just two days before former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) took the gavel for his party.

A letter sent by Loudermilk to former select committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-LA) requests access to files that he believes contain interviews with J6 witnesses which may not have fit the committee’s narrative that President Trump and allies in the White House instigated violence that day.

“As you acknowledged in your July 7, 2023 letter, the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (Select Committee) did not archive all Committee records as required by House Rules,” Loudermilk wrote. “You wrote that you sent specific transcribed interviews and depositions to the White House and Department of Homeland Security but did not archive them with the Clerk of the House.”

The Georgia Republican added that Thompson “claimed that you turned over 4-terabytes of digital files, but the hard drives archived by the Select Committee with the Clerk of the House contain less than 3-terabytes of data.”

A forensic analysis was able to produce “numerous digital records from hard drives archived by the Select Committee.”

“One recovered file disclosed the identity of an individual whose testimony was not archived by the Select Committee,” Loudermilk wrote. “Further, we found that most of the recovered files are password-protected, preventing us from determining what they contain.”

Therefore, he added, Republicans are requesting “a list of passwords for all password-protected files created by the Select Committee” so that his committee can “access these files and ensure they are properly archived.”

In a statement, Rep. Loudermilk said he believes Pelosi and the White House coordinated presentations by the select committee to damage Trump and allies who reinforced his claims that Biden illegitimately won the 2020 election.

“It’s obvious that Pelosi’s Select Committee went to great lengths to prevent Americans from seeing certain documents produced in their investigation. It also appears that Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney intended to obstruct our Subcommittee by failing to preserve critical information and videos as required by House rules,” Loudermilk said.

“The American people deserve to know the full truth, and Speaker Johnson has empowered me to use all tools necessary to recover these documents to get the truth, and I will.”

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has promised to grant Loudermilk additional resources in his investigation into the select committee as well as further inquiries into J6, including allegations by others in the GOP that FBI agents were on the ground that day. FBI Director Christopher Wray has previously refused to detail any activities by the Bureau though denied that Ray Epps, a notorious figure who was caught on camera calling for violence, was part of his team.
