So what exactly did the House January 6th Select Committee get from the National Archives?

John Fea   |  January 25, 2022 Leave a Comment

According to The New York Times, the committee received:

  • Proposed talking points for Mr. Trump’s press secretary and documents related to allegations of voter fraud (629 pages)
  • Presidential activity calendars and a handwritten note concerning Jan. 6 (11 pages)
  • A draft of Mr. Trump’s speech for the “Save America” rally that preceded the mob attack (10 pages)
  • A note from Mr. Meadows about briefings and calls about the certification of the election and related issues (2 pages)
  • A draft executive order on the topic of election integrity (4 pages)
  • Handwritten notes from the files of Mr. Meadows (3 pages)
  • The White House Daily Diary — a record of the president’s movements, phone calls, trips, briefings, meetings and activities (30 pages)
  • Drafts of speeches, remarks and correspondence concerning the events of Jan. 6 (13 pages)
  • A draft proclamation honoring the Capitol Police and two officers who died after the riot, Brian D. Sicknick and Howard Liebengood, as well as related emails (53 pages)
  • Records from the files of Patrick Philbin, a former deputy White House counsel
  • A memo about a potential lawsuit against several states that Mr. Biden won in the November election (4 pages)
  • An email chain from a state official regarding election-related issues (3 pages)
  • Talking points on alleged election irregularities in one Michigan county (3 pages)
  • A document containing presidential findings concerning the security of the 2020 presidential election and ordering various actions (3 pages)

The list reads like an archive finding aid.
