Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters The top Democrat on the House Administration Committee released a report on Monday seeking to discredit Republican efforts to rewrite the narrative about the January 6 attack on the US Capitol that has taken hold in the party over the last four years. Morelle includes a letter from an attorney representing former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson to refute Loudermilk’s allegations that Cheney colluded with Hutchinson, whose explosive testimony was crucial to the former select committee’s investigation. In his report, Morelle said Republicans “failed to produce any new material findings related to Capitol security” and criticized their decision to release Capitol security footage to the general public on Rumble, a third party website, with a first look given to former Fox News Host Tucker Carlson. Former US Capitol Police Acting Director of Intelligence Julie Farnam outlined to Loudermilk’s subcommittee in June 2024 her concerns about releasing the security footage on Rumble.
