According to Liz Cheney, the White House staff identified GOP lawmakers who requested pardons.
The Republican congressman was named as a pardonseeker by Cheney.
The committee was going to name the others.
Liz Cheney promised to end the panel's fifth public hearing by naming the congressional Republicans who allegedly asked Donald Trump for presidential pardons after the attack on the US Capitol.
Video testimony of three members of Donald Trump's White House staff will be shown at the end of the hearing. She said that certain members of Congress who contacted the White House after January 6 would be identified.
During the panel's first hearing, Cheney mentioned that investigators had found evidence of sitting members of Congress trying to get the former president to clear them of any wrongdoing before they left office.
The accusation was denied by the man who has been subpoenaed by the committee.
The idea that I ever sought a Presidential pardon for myself or other Members of Congress is a lie, according to the author.
The focus of Thursday's hearing is on Trump's attempt to install Clark as acting attorney general in order to advance his election fraud strategy.
