HAGEMAN WARNS ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND TO NOT IMPEDE THE RELEASE OF THE DOJ’S LONG AWAITED JANUARY 6TH REPORT

WASHINGTON, D.C. - This week, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman joined 10 of her Judiciary Committee colleagues in a letter, led by Rep. Massie (R-KY), warning Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to not block the release of the Inspector General’s report focusing on the extent to which federal assets, primarily Confidential Human Sources (CHS), were involved in the events of January 6, 2021. 

“The American people deserve to know those federal employees involved in formulating and carrying out the events on January 6th.” Hageman stated. “With today’s weaponized federal government, led in no small part by an FBI that continues to target conservatives, we should take every measure to ensure the truth is revealed.

“It is appalling that after nearly 4 years the American people still have no answers. Anyone with common sense would reach the assumption that this is a blatant effort to interfere with the upcoming presidential election.

“Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 Committee and the fake news media operated under the auspice that the day’s events should be investigated to ensure they never happened again but with an inauguration a few short months away, these voices have fallen silent on the IG report which will reveal the truth about the bad actors influencing America’s future.”

The letter comes on the heels of last week’s Weaponization of the Federal Government subcommittee hearing in which DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the curator of the report, testified it would be made public “...in a couple of months.”
