Evidence collected by the infamous “January 6 Committee” has conveniently gone “missing” and was allegedly destroyed, according to Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia.
With the criminal indictment of former President Donald Trump related to the events of January 6th, Americans are left asking one pivotal question: What are they hiding?
Last year, incoming Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) demanded that the “J6” committee preserve all of its records, evidence, and transcripts.

“The House select committee that investigated the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 failed to adequately preserve documents, data and video depositions – including communications it had with the Biden White House that are still missing – according to the Republican lawmaker overseeing the GOP investigation into the committee’s work,” Fox News found.
“The now-disbanded ‘J6’ committee, which was run by Democrats and included only two GOP members, has also failed to provide any evidence that it looked into Capitol Hill security failures on the day of the riot, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight for the Committee on House Administration, told Fox News Digital,” the report added.
Rep. Loudermilk said, “Nothing was indexed. There was no table of contents index. Usually when you conduct this level of investigation, you use a database system and everything is digitized, indexed. We got nothing like that. We just got raw data,” he said. “So it took us a long time going through it and one thing I started realizing is we don’t have anything much at all from the Blue Team [which was to have investigated security lapses].”
Trump faces 4 counts in the case as Smith was investigating whether Trump interfered with the peaceful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election. The criminal allegations include conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. On Jan. 6, 2021, Trump supporters entered the U.S. Capitol during a joint session of Congress to certify the Electoral College results in favor of Joe Biden.

If Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, he has vowed to fire Special Counsel Jack Smith who is leading the investigation into Trump’s alleged improper retention of classified records.
In March, some evidence from investigation into January 6th was provided by McCarthy to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Surveillance video showed police opening doors for Jacob Chansley, also known as the QAnon Shaman, and calmly walking along the officers as Chansley thanks them.
“Free Jacob Chansley,” billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk said. “Chansley got 4 years in prison for a non-violent, police-escorted tour!? Dave Chapelle was violently assaulted on stage by a guy with a knife. That guy got a $3000 fine & no prison time,” Musk added.
Mark Zuckerberg’s official fact-checkers on Facebook and Instagram have claimed it is false to argue police assisted Chansley. “The Capitol Police literally opened the Senate chamber door for him on camera!” Musk shot back. “But who are you going to believe, Instagram “fact-checkers” or your own lying eyes!?”

McCarthy was informed that several witnesses complained that testimony had been selectively edited by the J6 committee to distort or even reverse its meaning.
In November 2022, after Republicans won control of the House, McCarthy wrote a letter saying, “It is imperative that all information collected be preserved not just for institutional prerogatives but for transparency to the American people. The American people have a right to know that the allegations you have made are supported by the facts.”
Vice chair of the J6 Committee, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), vowed that they would, by law, preserve all of the committee’s materials, and that they would pass into the custody of the National Archives. Rep. Loudermilk believes this didn’t happen as evidence has either gone missing or has been destroyed.
