众议院特别委员会调查1月6日的国会大厦袭击事件正在审查数千页文件，这些文件是针对联邦政府机构和35家社交媒体和通信公司最近几周提出的要求而获得的。
该委员会的一名发言人表示，文件来自“几乎所有行政部门机构”上个月，委员会向八个政府机构发送了记录请求，向特朗普白宫寻求记录和推翻2020年选举结果的努力。
目前尚不清楚委员会掌握了哪些文件，但熟悉目前所获信息的消息人士表示，这些记录来自社交媒体公司和政府机构。
该小组向保存特朗普白宫记录的国家档案馆、国防部、国土安全部、司法部、内政部、联邦调查局和几个情报机构发出了请求。
委员会尚未收到国家档案馆的文件，国家档案馆正在审查这项请求。
委员会发言人表示:“特设委员会还意识到，国家档案馆已经采取了法律要求的程序，以识别记录并通知相关方。
在给国家档案馆的12页的信中，该委员会要求获得与30多名白宫助手、律师、特朗普家庭成员和外部顾问有关的记录，以及国会大厦骚乱当天及其前后的西翼通信、记录和访客日志。
前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)在随后的一份声明中抨击调查是一种“党派行为”，这“是以长期的特权法律原则为代价的。”
特朗普说:“行政特权将得到捍卫。
目前还不清楚拜登白宫正在进行哪些与行政特权有关的对话。拜登曾表示，他的政府希望帮助调查，但消息人士表示，西翼和司法部内部可能不愿意在行政特权以及国会可以访问和获得的总统记录方面开创新的先例。
House committee investigating Capitol riot reviewing thousands of documents
The House select committeeinvestigatingthe Jan. 6 Capitol attack is in the process of reviewing thousands of pages of documents obtained in response to requests made of federal government agencies and 35 social media and communication companies in recent weeks.
A spokesperson for the committee said that documents have come in from "nearly all Executive Branch agencies." Last month, the committee sent records requests to eight government agencies,seeking records from the Trump White Houseand administration related to the riot and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
It was not immediately clear what documents the committee has in their possession, but sources familiar with what has been obtained so far say the records came from both social media companies and government agencies.
The panel sent requests to the National Archives -- which maintains and preserves Trump White House records -- the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Department of the Interior, the FBI and several intelligence community agencies.
The committee has not yet received documents from the National Archives, which is in the process of reviewing the request.
"The Select Committee is also aware that the National Archives has undertaken the process required by law for identifying records and notifying relevant parties," a committee spokesperson said.
In the 12-page letter to the National Archives, the committee requested records pertaining to more than 30 White House aides, lawyers, Trump family members and outside advisers, along with West Wing communications, records and visitors logs on and around the day of the Capitol riot.
In a statement following the request, former President Donald Trump slammed the investigation as a "partisan exercise" that is "being performed at the expense of long-standing legal principles of privilege."
"Executive privilege will be defended," Trump said.
It's not clear what conversations the Biden White House is engaged in related to executive privilege. Biden has said his administration wants to help the investigation, but sources say there could be reluctance within the West Wing and Department of Justice to set new precedents regarding executive privilege and what presidential records Congress can access and obtain.
