Overview
- Chair Barry Loudermilk requested unredacted transcripts of prior Secret Service interviews and new transcribed sessions with seven agents tied to the DNC sweep.
- The request also seeks records on a 2021 phone migration and asks why two K‑9 sweeps missed the device later found by a plainclothes Capitol Police officer.
- The Blaze claimed a 94%–98% gait‑analysis match naming former Capitol Police officer Shauni Rae Kerkhoff, yet it has not released comparative video or full methods.
- Federal agencies have not confirmed the outlet’s identification, with the FBI stating the pipe‑bomb inquiry remains a high‑priority, ongoing investigation.
- Forensic and media critics say gait analysis is corroborative rather than definitive, and some political figures who amplified the claim have deleted or softened posts.
