Overview
- Chairman Barry Loudermilk sent the Secret Service a formal letter seeking unredacted transcripts of prior interviews with agents on then–Vice President‑elect Kamala Harris’s DNC security detail.
- The letter also asks for documents on a January–April 2021 phone migration or system upgrade that may have wiped messages, plus interviews with seven previously redacted personnel, with a deadline set for 10 days after any federal shutdown ends.
- Committee materials note at least 10 agents, including two K‑9 units, swept the DNC around 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 6, hours before a plainclothes U.S. Capitol Police officer found a viable device near 1:05 p.m.
- Harris arrived at the DNC late that morning, and reporting says she came within roughly 20 feet of the device before it was discovered.
- Loudermilk asserts the RNC and DNC devices were intended to divert police, while the FBI says the suspect remains unidentified after reviewing tens of thousands of videos and 1,000 interviews, with a $500,000 reward still posted.
