Jan. 6 Committee Requests Records From Dozens: Trump White House, Right-Wing Journalist, Meme-Creator

The largely partisan committee investigating the breach on the U.S. Capitol on January 6 sent letters to eight federal agencies on Wednesday, requesting records from dozens, including from the Trump White House and “outside contacts” like journalist Jack Posobiec and meme-creator and commentator Rogan O’Handley, better known as “DC Draino.”

“Jan. 6 committee issues first broad records request, including to National Archives for records of Trump White House,” said Politico reporter Kyle Cheney. “Among the voluminous requests, the committee is seeking 9 months’ worth of contacts between the Trump (White House) and this group of outsiders, including Enrique Tarrio, George Papadopoulos, and Jack Posobiec.”
