US House Rules: GOP Moves to Retain Jan. 6 Documents

Democratic narrative

While transparency is important, so is the anonymity and safety of witnesses in the Jan. 6 investigation. The committee has promised to publicize the bulk of its investigation — and has already begun to fulfill that pledge — but it has to balance privacy concerns. Either way, Congress ultimately retains ownership of the records and can revisit whether they should be released at a later time. This proposed rule is not only senseless but divisive.
