WASHINGTON - Today, Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) wrote to Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Chief of Police, Pamela Smith, requesting information sought by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol related to the Select Committee’s false narrative that President Trump planned to go to the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The Subcommittee recently discovered a letter from the Select Committee to MPD requesting information cited in a tweet by Hunter Walker in April 2022 that claimed a law enforcement officer informed him "they heard DC Metropolitan Police officers affiliated with the presidential motorcade share a story of Trump demanding to be drive[n] to the Capitol and getting into an altercation with Secret Service on January 6."
 
There is no evidence to support the Select Committee’s narrative that President Trump planned to go to the Capitol on January 6th. In fact, evidence hidden by the Select Committee but published by this Subcommittee indicates this narrative was false. The Select Committee on January 6, 2021 - headed by former Reps. Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney -  failed to properly archive as many as 900 interview summaries or transcripts, over one terabyte of digital data, and over 100 deleted or encrypted documents. Therefore, the Subcommittee is requesting these documents, if any were shared with the Select Committee, be turned over by MPD.
