Donald Trump gave his complete and total endorsement to Barry Loudermilk, who is being investigated by the committee for giving a tour the day before the riot.
Trump said that Barry Loudermilk is a fantastic Representative for the people of Georgia's 11th Congressional District.
Barry is a U.S. Air Force veteran who is working hard to support our vets, grow the economy, lower gas prices, and defend the Second Amendment. Barry Loudermilk has my complete and total endorsement.
The US House of Representatives Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol requested Loudermilk meet with them in a letter sent on Thursday. The commission said in the letter that they found evidence that supports Republican claims that there was no tours on the day before the riot.
Loudermilk admitted in a statement Thursday that he brought aconstituent family on a tour the day before the riot, but said the family did not enter the Capitol building.
The facts speak for themselves, no place that the family went on the 5th was breached on the 6th, the family did not enter the Capitol grounds on the 6th, and no one in that family has been investigated or charged in connection to January 6th.
Representatives for Trump and Loudermilk did not respond to the request for comment.
