John —

We have known for some time that Donald Trump bears some
responsibility for the violent insurrection at the Capitol on
January 6, 2021. After all, he summoned the mob, filled them
with lies about the election, and directed them to go to the
Capitol that fateful day.

But as my House colleagues on the January 6th Special
Committee pushed forward with hearings over the last few weeks,
they uncovered some truly shocking facts. Trump not only knew
the mob was heavily armed, he encouraged the Secret Service to
remove metal detectors and let armed insurrectionists join his
pre-insurrection pep rally outside the White House. The
disgraced former president also tried to join the mob at the
Capitol and would have done so if his security detail had not
repeatedly refused to allow it. And when he learned that the
violent mob he unleashed had breached the Capitol and was
attempting to find and kill Vice President Pence, Trump not only
did nothing, he suggested Pence deserved it.

It is clear that former President Trump not only
committed a dereliction of duty that day; he was far more
involved in the planning and implementation of the insurrection
than we previously knew. And we haven’t even heard the full
story yet.

We will hold those responsible for the January 6 attack
accountable. I am grateful for the amazing job my colleagues on
this committee have done – without their tireless pursuit of
truth and their commitment to getting the facts on the record,
there would be no hope for justice.

I am expressing my gratitude to the committee members
this week. If you’d like me to pass along a message from you too,

more hard work ahead and I urge them to continue to publicly
follow the facts – wherever they lead.

The hearings aren’t over yet, but we know that January
6th was a close call – we nearly lost the peaceful transfer of
power at the bedrock of our republic. We deserve to know the full
truth about that terrible day so that we can take action to
ensure that it never happens again.

Personally, I believe that Trump’s violent attempt to
block the transfer of power and override the results of our
national election underscores the need to protect our vulnerable
democracy. January 6th was just a warm-up session. We must take
the threat of Trumpism, and the violent white Christian
nationalism that animates it, very seriously – especially with
the midterm elections right around the corner.

As your Congressman, I will continue to stand in the way
of GOP extremists – and work to strengthen and repair our nation
– but I need your help. Each and every one of us has a role to
play in restoring our democracy.

Please stay engaged.

Thanks,

Jared
