"House GOP Alleges Withheld Evidence and Trump's Capitol Demand Testimony"

House Republicans released a report alleging that the Jan. 6 committee "deleted" records and hired "Hollywood producers" to promote a political narrative while investigating the Capitol breach. The report claimed that the committee focused on Trump and his supporters rather than security failures. It also accused the committee of deleting records and hiding evidence. The committee, composed of Democrats and two Republicans, concluded its investigation last year and sent referrals to the Justice Department recommending Trump be criminally prosecuted. The report has sparked a back-and-forth between Republicans and Democrats, with each side accusing the other of dishonesty and political bias.
