WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Select Subcommittee on January 6th Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) sent a
letter to the United States Secret Service (USSS) requesting transcribed interviews with seven Secret Service agents who were at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) before and after a pipe bomb was discovered on January 6, 2021.
Chairman Loudermilk also requested documents the USSS provided to the former House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol and documents and communications relating to the USSS cell phone upgrade, which resulted in cell phones being wiped.
Excerpt from the letter:
"The Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding January 6, 2021 (Select Subcommittee) is conducting oversight of the events that occurred at the Capitol and the response and subsequent investigation. During the 119th Congress, we have sought information regarding the discovery of the pipe bombs near the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters buildings on January 6. More than four years later, there remain more questions than answers surrounding who may have placed these devices and whether federal law enforcement entities have adequately investigated the matter. Given the presence of Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris’s Secret Service detail at the DNC when authorities discovered the pipe bomb, your agents may possess information that is necessary for our oversight and request your cooperation in this process.
"On January 6, 2021, Vice President-Elect Harris arrived at the DNC at 11:25 a.m. In preparation for her arrival, at least ten Secret Service agents conducted a sweep of the premises around 8:30 a.m.5 This included the use of two canine units, yet the units did not detect the pipe bomb.6 At 1:05 p.m., a plain-clothes United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer discovered the DNC pipe bomb—about 25 minutes after the device near the RNC had been discovered.7 It is generally accepted that the pipe bombs acted as a means of diverting law enforcement resources away from the Capitol, notably at almost precisely the same time as protestors started to breach the Capitol perimeter.”
"This Congress, the Select Subcommittee will continue its vigorous oversight of the agencies that responded to the events of January 6, ensuring that the unresolved questions are answered, that federal agencies are faithfully serving the American people, and that the United States Capitol Complex is secure. Accordingly, we respectfully request that the Secret Service produce the following materials:
- All transcripts, in unredacted form, in the possession of the Secret Service, of transcribed interviews of Secret Service personnel conducted during the 117th Congress by the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol; and
- All documents and communications referring or relating to a cell phone migration, system upgrade, or any other process or act by which employees of the United States Secret Service had their phones wiped of all electronic communications in the January – April 2021 timeframe."
