Legal expert: GOP lawmakers could face criminal charges if they hid Jan. 6 activity
Raw StoryOn Thursday's edition of CNN's "The Situation Room," former federal prosecutor Elie Honig broke down the significance of the new allegations from the January 6 Committee against Rep. Barry Loudermilk. Specifically, the committee alleges that Loudermilk led tours in the Capitol that may have helped the January 6 attackers do "reconnaissance" — and that they have evidence that contradicts his denials. "But the most interesting thing in the letter that the committee sent to Representative Loudermilk today is that committee says they have evidence that, quote, 'directly contradicts those denials,'" continued Honig.

Lauren Boebert, who allegedly offered "large" group tours of the Capitol in the runup to the attack.
