Riot Panel Seeks Interview With Freedom Caucus Chair

CNN reports:

The House select committee investigating the deadly January 6 riot has asked GOP Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania to voluntarily sit down for an interview — the first known effort by the panel to talk to a lawmaker about helping former President Donald Trump in his efforts to undermine the election.

The committee is not yet issuing a subpoena for Perry’s testimony. Instead the panel is sending a letter to formally request Perry’s cooperation. Perry, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, is the first lawmaker to receive such a letter from the committee.

We all know Greene and Boebert but do you know Rep. Scott Perry? He’s the Republican House member from PA, incoming Freedom Caucus chair, and also a *key figure in the 1/6 insurrection*.
