The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol released transcripts of testimony from 34 witnesses, the majority of whom pleaded the Fifth for at least some — if not most — of the panel’s questions.
Among those in the first transcript dump were former acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division Jeffrey Clark, Trump campaign lawyer John Eastman, conservative attorney Jenna Ellis, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, Trump ally Roger Stone, Oath Keepers Founder Stewart Rhodes, Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio, conservative radio host Alex Jones, Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward and white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
……..
The majority of the witnesses whose transcripts were released Wednesday pleaded the Fifth amendment during their interviews with the panel. Some witnesses even invoked the Fifth for basic questions, like asking their age.
The release of the first batch of transcripts came two days after the select committee held its final public presentation. At the end of the business meeting, the panel voted on four criminal referrals to the Justice Department targeting former President Trump.
