Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia is demanding that the White House turn over a number of transcripts of interviews with the House Select Committee on January 6.

Loudermilk heads the House Administration Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight and is leading an audit of the disbanded January 6 committee’s investigation into the Capitol riot. Loudermilk revealed earlier this month that the January 6 committee did not keep all of its records, and that some are being held by the White House and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“[T]he White House is in possession of records that are the property of the U.S. House of Representatives, including testimony provided to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol,” Loudermilk wrote in a Friday letter to the White House obtained by NBC News. “These records must be returned immediately in their original form without alteration or redaction.”

The Georgia Republican said that the White House appears to be holding the transcripts of interviews of “multiple Secret Service agents or employees who were assigned to former President Trump on January 6, 2021.” Loudermilk said that the interviews of the Secret Service employees were referenced in November 2022 letters between the White House and DHS.

“[N]o Congressional committee, prior to the Democrat-controlled Select Committee, had ever sought to compel the testimony of a Secret Service agent about activities they observed while performing protective functions,” he wrote. “Despite this, you wrote that President Biden would not assert executive privilege with respect to testimony to be provided by these individuals to the Select Committee.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tapped Loudermilk to lead an investigation into the January 6 committee’s findings. Earlier this month, Loudermilk accused the committee of manipulating evidence to create an anti-Trump “narrative” while failing to investigate key aspects of the Capitol riot, such as the actions of security officials at the U.S. Capitol that day.

“Basically, all they did after spending $18.5 million was come out with a manifesto against [former President Donald Trump], trying to tie Donald Trump to the attack on the Capitol,” Loudermilk said in an interview with The Daily Wire. “That was their narrative. Everything that they did appears to be to just come up with that narrative.”

The January 6 committee “blue team” was tasked with investigating Capitol security, but Loudermilk said that after reviewing the committee’s underlying research, his team found next to no documentation showing the blue team ever investigated.

“That’s a set of documents that we don’t have. Now our question is: did these documents ever exist?” he said. “It’s more than likely,” Loudermilk said, that the blue team did investigate, but found something that “somebody didn’t want them to,” so “they suppressed the records.”

San Francisco Mayor London Breed joined more than 200 protesters who gathered Wednesday outside a federal courthouse to call for an end to a federal restriction on the city’s ability to clear homeless encampments.

“It is not humane to let people live on our streets in tents, use drugs. We have found dead bodies, we have found a dead baby in these tents. We have seen people in really awful conditions, and we are not standing for it anymore,” Breed said at the rally.

“I am sick and tired of being sick and tired,” she said.

“So the goal here is to make sure the Court of Appeals understands we want a reversal of this injunction that makes it possible for us to do our jobs,” the mayor said.

The protesters demanded an end to a federal judge’s order banning San Francisco from cleaning up homeless tent encampments unless the city has enough shelter beds for every homeless person.

Inside the courthouse, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments from the city’s attorneys asking the court to throw out the temporary injunction against cleaning encampments.

The Coalition on Homelessness, which brought the lawsuit, argued that the restrictions on clearing encampments should remain in place and accused the city of failing to provide adequate housing for San Francisco’s homeless population.

Meanwhile, attorneys for the city argued that the city has in fact offered housing to homeless residents, but they often refuse it. San Francisco’s attorneys argued that the offer of housing should count towards the mandate to provide housing and requested the injunction be lifted.

A day before the protest, the mayor said San Francisco has to be “able to clear the streets” during a meeting at the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
