The congressional committee investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection sent a letter to another House Republican in an effort to learn more about a tour he led of the building the day before the deadly attack.

House investigators are unlikely to call former President Donald Trump to testify about his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.

The theory, known as the “great replacement,” has gained currency on popular television programs and in the halls of Congress.

The Jan. 6 committee’s remarkable decision to subpoena GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other sitting members of Congress over the insurrection at the Capitol is as unprecedented as the deadly riot itself.

The Jan. 6 committee’s remarkable decision to subpoena GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other sitting members of Congress over the insurrection at the Capitol is as unprecedented as the deadly riot itself.

House investigators say they have issued subpoenas to House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other GOP lawmakers as part of their probe into the violent Jan. 6 insurrection.

The committee sent out three letters to sitting members of Congress on Monday, seeking a range of information.

The panel investigating the attack on the Capitol asked U.S. Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Mo Brooks of Alabama and Ronny Jackson of Texas to appear.

The congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6 capitol riot will launch public hearings in June.

Text messages and testimony released by the House Jan. 6 panel shows the deep involvement of some House Republicans in President Donald Trump’s desperate attempt to stay in power.

Rioters who smashed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, succeeded — at least temporarily — in delaying the certification of Joe Biden’s election to the White House. Hours before, Rep. Jim Jordan had been trying to achieve the same thing. Texting with then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, a close ally and friend, at nearly midnight on Jan. 5, Jordan offered a legal rationale for what President Donald Trump was publicly demanding — that Vice President Mike Pence, in his ceremonial role presiding over the electoral count, somehow assert the authority to reject electors from Biden-won states.

Donald Trump Jr., the son of ex-President Donald Trump, and Trump's former lawyer Rudy Giuliani are expected to be interviewed by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot committee.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol is redoubling its efforts to have GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy appear for an interview.

Rep. Scott Perry said Trump's CIA director was "covering for the Brits" in a text to Mark Meadows five days after the 2020 election was called.

In advance of Jan. 6, 2021, a top Secret Service official warned White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about the threat of violence that day as Trump supporters planned to mass on the Capitol, according to new testimony released late on Friday by the House committee investigating the insurrection.

Meeting with a man whose well water has been polluted for years, officials in the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office asked him whether he’d consider accepting a treatment system from the gas driller charged with fouling his aquifer. Not a chance, Ray Kemble told them. One of the best-known pollution cases ever to emerge from the U.S. drilling and fracking boom has entered a difficult new phase as prosecutors pursue criminal charges against the state’s most prolific gas driller — and push for a settlement they say could yield more significant benefits for homeowners than a conviction.

House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy’s refusal to provide information to a committee investigating the Capitol riot is deepening a standoff between the committee and GOP lawmakers.

The committee has asked Reps. Jim Jordan (Ohio) and Scott Perry (Pa.) to talk to them about conversations they either had with Trump on the day of the attack, or about any conversations they had with Trump allies leading up to Jan. 6.

Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said Sunday he will not cooperate with the Jan. 6 select committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riot.Why it matters: Both members of Congress the committee has sought out for information are declining to turn over documents or be interviewed voluntarily, forcing its nine members to decide whether they will attempt to subpoena their colleagues.Stay on top of the latest market trends and economic insights with Axios Markets.

Indiana congressman Greg Pence watched the Jan. 6 insurrection unfold from an extraordinary perch.

A committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection has requested an interview and information from Republican Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio.

The select committee wants to ask Republican Rep. Jim Jordan about his communications with then-President Donald Trump on Jan. 6.

Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry called the committee "illegitimate."

Rep. Scott Perry is the first lawmaker to be asked to answer questions as part of the House select committee's probe of the Jan. 6 riot by Trump supporters.

The committee wants information from the incoming House Freedom Caucus leader about his efforts to install Jeffrey Clark as acting attorney general.

Republican congressman Scott Perry of Pennsylvania has rebuffed a request for him to sit down for an interview and turn over documents to the committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection.

The House has delivered its first formal response to Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert's anti-Muslim remarks by passing a bill to tackle Islamophobia worldwide.

Perry said Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee called him "Islamophobic, nasty, mean, and rude" last week during the bill's markup.

The former president's influence has become increasingly indirect.

The House panel investigating the Jan_ 6 Capitol insurrection has focused some of its early work on the planning behind a massive rally at which President Donald Trump falsely claimed to have won reelection and told his supporters to “fight like hell.”.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol is asking social media and telecommunications companies to preserve phone or computer records for hundreds of people.

A few Republican lawmakers took issue with calling the storming of the Capitol by pro-Trump rioters an "insurrection."

The House passed two bills Thursday to require background checks on all firearms sales and transfers and to allow an expanded 10-day review for gun purchases. While enhanced background checks are generally popular with the American public, even with some conservatives, Congress has so far not been able to find compromise on the issue. “These solutions will save lives.”President Joe Biden has called for Congress to strengthen gun laws, including requiring the background checks on all gun sales and banning assault weapons. AdThe second bill, which passed 219-210, would extend the review period for background checks from three to 10 days. While the House bills have Republican cosponsors and won a handful of GOP votes, most Republicans voted against them.

Violent protesters loyal to President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol Wednesday, disrupting the process. One Republican lawmaker publicly called for invoking the 25th Amendment to force Trump from office before Biden is inaugurated. The support Trump has received for his efforts to overturn the election results have badly strained the nation’s democratic guardrails. Some House lawmakers tweeted they were sheltering in place in their offices. The Pentagon said about 1,100 District of Columbia National Guard members were being mobilized to help support law enforcement at the Capitol.

Under election law the House would intervene if the Electoral College gave no presidential candidate the majority Jan. 6. “There ain't no light at the end of the tunnel in the House of Representatives,” Pelosi said at a recent press conference. The president can be selected by a House majority — 26 states — if the Electoral College deadlocks or is unable to agree on the winner. Another is Montana, where Democratic state Rep. Kathleen Williams and Republican state Auditor Matt Rosendale are vying for the state's lone at-large seat. Veteran GOP election lawyer Ben Ginsberg said there’s a long ways to go from election day Nov. 3 and a potential House vote on Jan. 6.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration has again delayed plans to propose new rules requiring the remote identification of drones, according to records and a member of Congress on Wednesday. A U.S. Transportation Department status update now says the FAA plans to propose the regulation by Sept. 20 - after it earlier promised it by July 21. U.S. Representative Scott Perry, a Republican, disclosed the new delay at a House aviation safety hearing Wednesday and said that was unacceptable. In January, the FAA said 43 flights into New Jerseys Newark Liberty International Airport were required to hold after a reported drone sighting nearby. An FAA advisory committee issued a report in 2017 laying out options for remotely identifying drones, but did not agree on all recommendations.
