The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol is increasingly turning to the Department of Justice as a potential partner for carrying out its mission once the panel sunsets.
The two investigative teams have at times been at odds over the last year and a half, with the panel rebuffing a request from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to share transcripts of its interviews in May.
But as it stares down an end-of-the-year deadline, the committee’s tune is changing toward something reminiscent of a high school yearbook: Let’s keep in touch.
“If they would want to talk to some of our investigators or members of the committee, I think part of our duties and our oath of office is that we have to cooperate. And I see that cooperation being ongoing,” Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) told reporters on Thursday.
“If they have a particular interest in a subject or a subject matter, then we will be as cooperative as we can with respect to sharing it.”
In the past, the committee has been more reticent to share its information with the department.
An initial agreement was reached after the DOJ complained in court that the panel’s failure to furnish the transcripts would “complicate” their investigation.
