Bernie Kerik, who was subpoenaed from the Jan. 6 select committee for his testimony and documents, indicated Thursday that he planned to post the documents on a public website
The committee subpoenaed Bernie Kerik on Nov. 8, seeking information about his work with Giuliani, as well as his involvement in the so-called “war room” at the Willard Hotel | Spencer Platt/Getty ImagesBernie Kerik, the former New York City police chief who aided Rudy Giuliani’s effort to discredit the results of the 2020 election, is inching closer to compliance with a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee for his testimony and documents.
“As I have stated from the beginning, Mr. Kerik is happy to provide all of the responsive documents, as well as to sit and answer all appropriate questions regarding these matters,” Parlatore said in the letter.on Nov. 8, seeking information about his work with Giuliani, as well as his involvement in the so-called “war room” at the Willard Hotel, where Trump allies met to strategize about preventing Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory.
Thompson also rejected Kerik’s request for a public hearing in lieu of a deposition. But he did say the committee would take the request “under advisement” and consider for a future hearing after Kerik appeared for his deposition. Parlatore also criticized Thompson for making a contempt threat when Kerik had repeatedly proposed options for full cooperation.
The bulk of Parlatore’s letter focuses on disputed claims that the Jan. 6 committee is structurally invalid because it includes no members appointed by House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy. This claim has become a feature of multiple lawsuits lodged by targets of the committee investigation resisting subpoenas for testimony or phone records.
McCarthy did name five picks to the committee in June, but Pelosi rejected two of them: Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks , who she suggested would not be constructive members of the panel. In response, McCarthy withdrew all of his picks, leaving the entire panel in the hands of Pelosi and the majority.
