The congressman said it would be "quite crazy" if the Secret Service deleted text messages related to the Capitol riot.
During an interview on the CBS News program "Face the Nation," the Illinois Republican told host Margaret Brennan that the full details of the situation have not yet been uncovered.
He said that the panel has subpoenaed the records to get access to them.
The committee was told by the Secret Service that the records couldn't be found due to a changeover to a new phone system.

He said that it was crazy that the Secret Service would remove anything related to one of the most notorious days in American history.
