House committee probes Jan. 6 connections between Rep. Ronny Jackson and Oath Keepers

WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol would like a word with Rep. Ronny Jackson about why members of the Oath Keepers militia group exchanged messages fretting about his security as rioters rampaged through the building.

The committee’s chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and vice chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., released letters Monday seeking information from the Amarillo Republican as well as two of his GOP colleagues, Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama and Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona.

“The Select Committee has learned that several of our colleagues have information relevant to our investigation into the facts, circumstances, and causes of January 6th,” Thompson and Cheney said in a joint statement. “As we work to provide answers to the American people about that day, we consider it a patriotic duty for all witnesses to cooperate. We urge our colleagues to join the hundreds of individuals who have shared information with the Select Committee as we work to get to the bottom of what happened on January 6th.”

In response, Jackson strongly criticized the committee as “illegitimate,” characterized its activities as a “witch hunt” and said he won’t participate in the inquiry.

perhaps they should turn the tables to probe Dr. "That Doesn't" Feelgood instead?
