Three more House Republicans -- including 1 from Texas -- have received requests to voluntarily appear before the congressional committee investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection.
- Three more House Republicans received requests on May 2 to voluntarily appear before the congressional committee investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection, including an Alabama Republican who says Donald Trump is still pushing allies to help him overturn his loss in the 2020 election.
The nine-member panel is asking for the members of Congress to testify about their involvement in meetings at the White House, direct conversations with Trump as he sought to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election as well as the planning and coordination of rallies on and before Jan. 6, 2021.
The decision to ask for Brooks' cooperation comes weeks after the Alabama Republican accused Trump of dropping an endorsement for him after he rebuffed the former president's entreaties to help overturn the 2020 election. In an interview last week, Biggs didn't deny his public efforts to challenge the election results but called the recent reports about his deep involvement untrue."I've seen my name. There were three articles today, and they were filled with untruths," he told The Associated Press.
