Rep. Zoe Lofgren
Zoe Ellen Lofgren The House-approved election bill is aimed at foreign interference Republicans are asking to hear about Biden’s handling of border congestion. (D-Calif.) Has released an extensive report outlining posts on social media by Republican lawmakers who voted against confirming the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The nearly 2,000-page report documents reports on social media platforms right before the November 3 election and after the January 6 uprising on Capitol Hill.
The report highlights the lack of trust between Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill, as critics say the credibility of the November election is being questioned, which helped fuel the deadly riot in January.
Federal investigators are also apparently investigating communications between lawmakers and the rioters before the uprising.
Lofgren, the chairwoman of the House Administration Committee, said in anticipation of the report that she released it as part of a fact-finding mission and hinted that punishment could result from some of the Republicans’ allegations and statements.

They would have betrayed their oath of office and would be involved in the same constitutional provision quoted in the indictment, “she wrote. The provision prohibits any person who has previously taken an oath as a member of Congress from supporting the Constitution but subsequently engaging in rebellion or rebellion from serving in Congress. ‘
“Any appropriate disciplinary action is not only a matter of the Constitution and the law, but also of fact,” Lofgren continued. “Many of former President Trump’s false statements were made in many public institutions. Did members make similar statements in the weeks and months before the January 6 attack?
“Statements readily available in the public arena may form part of any consideration of the constitutional privileges and responsibilities of Congress.”
The report covers the posts of 120 House Republics, including several top Trump allies.
In a stressed comment, the Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Chairman of the hardline House of Freedom Caucus, tweeted on November 5: “The integrity of our election is at stake, and Americans need maximum transparency and accountability from government and local officials. ”
