   The House Administration Committee's Oversight Subcommittee is   
   leading an investigation into Jan. 6, 2021, led by Chairman Barry   
   Loudermilk, R-Ga. The panel is investigating the security failures   
   on that day, as well as the "actions" of the former select committee   
   investigating the Capitol riot.   
      
   HOUSE INVESTIGATION INTO 'WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6'   
   ENTERING 'NEW PHASE' WITH SPEAKER JOHNSON SUPPORT   
      
   Loudermilk, last week, told Fox News Digital his investigation has   
   entered a "new phase" with renewed support from House Speaker Mike   
   Johnson, R-La., who has committed additional resources to the   
   panel’s investigation.   
      
   Sources familiar with Loudermilk’s investigation told Fox News   
   Digital that, per House rules, the former select committee, which   
   was chaired by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., was required to turn   
   over all documents from its investigation to the new, GOP-led panel,   
   after Republicans secured the majority of the House of   
   Representatives following the 2022 midterm elections.   
      
   Sources told Fox News Digital that Thompson had told Loudermilk that   
   the select committee would turn over four terabytes of archived   
   data, but that the new committee only received approximately two   
   terabytes of data.   
      
   Fox News Digital has learned that Loudermilk’s committee hired a   
   digital forensics team to scrape hard drives to determine what   
   information they were not given.   
      
   The forensics team, according to sources familiar with their search,   
   determined that 117 files were both deleted and encrypted. Sources   
   said those files were deleted on Jan. 1, 2023 – just days before   
   Thompson’s team was required to transfer the data to the new   
   committee.   
      
   Fox News Digital has learned the forensics team has recovered all   
   117 deleted and encrypted files. Now, Loudermilk is demanding   
   answers and passwords to access the data.   
      
   Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a letter Loudermilk sent to   
   Thompson, requesting access to recovered digital files by his   
   forensic team.   
      
   "As you acknowledged in your July 7, 2023 letter, the Select   
   Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States   
   Capitol (Select Committee) did not archive all Committee records as   
   required by House Rules," Loudermilk wrote. "You wrote that you sent   
   specific transcribed interviews and depositions to the White House   
   and Department of Homeland Security but did not archive them with   
   the Clerk of the House."   
      
      
   Loudermilk added that Thompson also "claimed that you turned over 4   
   -terabytes of digital files, but the hard drives archived by the   
   Select Committee with the Clerk of the House contain less than 3-   
   terabytes of data."   
      
   Loudermilk explained that after a forensic analysis of the data and   
   archived hard drives, he was able to recover "numerous digital   
   records from hard drives archived by the Select Committee."   
      
   "One recovered file disclosed the identity of an individual whose   
   testimony was not archived by the Select Committee," Loudermilk   
   wrote. "Further, we found that most of the recovered files are   
   password-protected, preventing us from determining what they   
   contain."   
      
   Loudermilk asked that Thompson provide him "a list of passwords for   
   all password-protected files created by the Select Committee" so   
   that his committee can "access these files and ensure they are   
   properly archived."   
      
   Meanwhile, Loudermilk also penned letters to White House general   
   counsel and the general counsel of the Department of Homeland   
   Security, requesting "unedited and unredacted transcripts" of White   
   House and DHS testimony to the former select committee.   
      
   Loudermilk's committee knows the transcripts of these interviews   
   exist, but said they were not turned over by the Thompson-led   
   committee.   
      
   Loudermilk demanded the White House and DHS comply with his request   
   by Jan. 24.   
      
   "It’s obvious that Pelosi’s Select Committee went to great lengths   
   to prevent Americans from seeing certain documents produced in their   
   investigation. It also appears that Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney   
   intended to obstruct our Subcommittee by failing to preserve   
   critical information and videos as required by House rules,"   
   Loudermilk told Fox News Digital.   
      
   "The American people deserve to know the full truth, and Speaker   
   Johnson has empowered me to use all tools necessary to recover these   
   documents to get the truth, and I will."
