had asked for a trove of records last summer from those and other social companiesThe committee again demanded that Google parent company Alphabet, Twitter, Reddit and Meta — formerly known as Facebook — hand over a slew of records related to domestic terrorism, the spread of misinformation and efforts to influence or overturn the 2020 election.

"It's disappointing that after months of engagement, we still do not have the documents and information necessary to answer those basic questions," Thompson said."The Select Committee is working to get answers for the American people and help ensure nothing like January 6th ever happens again. We cannot allow our important work to be delayed any further."

The committee is tasked with investigating the facts and causes surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, when hundreds of former President Donald Trump's supporters violently stormed the building and temporarily stopped the transfer of power to current President Joe Biden.

McCarthy says he will not cooperate with January 6 committee probeHouse Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he will not cooperate with a request from the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot, hours after the panel asked the California Republican to voluntarily provide information, including details about former President Donald Trump's state of mind during the Capitol attack and in the weeks after. These people all need to go to jail... not showing up to court after a supeona is issued usually means jail for everyone else. Safe to say the Committee had a subpoena drawn up and in an envelope *before* they asked for his voluntary cooperation. Hillary testified for 11 hours over the Bengazi investigation; these cowards can't even do that.
