  • The panel received more than 700 pages of records sought by the panel earlier this month.
  • Trump asserted executive privilege over more than 750 pages of documents related to the events of January 6, including presidential diaries, visitor logs, handwritten notes from then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, binders from then White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and a draft executive order on election integrity.
  • The committee has interviewed more than 475 witnesses and obtained over 60,000 documents, a congressional aide says.
