In a letter to the January 6 committee on Wednesday, the Justice Department renewed its request for the panel to share transcripts from interviews with witnesses it has conducted.
On January 6th, a hearing will be held on the investigation.
Interviews conducted by the January 6 committee are not just potentially relevant to our overall criminal investigations, but also to specific prosecutions that have already begun.
The committee needs to give the agency copies of the transcripts of witness interviews.
The department doesn't know if all relevant evidence has been looked at without access to the transcripts.
A person for the January 6 committee did not respond to a question from Forbes.
A lot. The January 6 committee has interviewed a lot of people.
Bennie Thompson told reporters in May that the Justice Department had asked for transcripts from its investigation. The committee couldn't give them full access to our product because it hadn't finished its work Thompson thought the panel had put a lot of time and effort into their interviews and was hesitant to give them up. Department officials may be allowed to look at documents in committee offices. Criminal charges can be used as evidence in criminal cases, even though the House committee has no authority to do so. The New York Times reported that Justice Department officials wrote to Heaphy in April that some committee interviews could contain information relevant to a criminal investigation. The Times reported that prosecutors were looking for documents about people who organized or spoke at pro- Trump rallies as well as members of the executive and legislative branches who may have tried to block, influence or delay the certification of the election. The January 6 committee held its third public hearing to discuss findings from its investigation into the Capitol riots. The hearing is about how Donald Trump tried to get Mike Pence to prevent the certification of the 2020 election.
During a Proud Boys court hearing last week, the Department of Justice said it expected the January 6 committee to release all the transcripts in September, though it still hadn't received the documents.
The Justice Department wants to know what happened on January 6.
The Justice Department. The New York Times reported that it was going to request transcripts from the committee.
The staffer says that the vice president told Trump that he couldn't overturn the election results.
