The House January 6th committee is asking three Republican representatives to voluntarily testify. 

The Inquisition sent letters on Monday to GOP Reps. Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks and Ronny Jackson, per Just the News

"As we work to provide answers to the American people about that day, we consider it a patriotic duty for all witnesses to cooperate," Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney wrote in a statement

"We urge our colleagues to join the hundreds of individuals who have shared information with the Select Committee as we work to get to the bottom of what happened on January 6th," they said. 

In the letter to Jackson, the panel said that texts obtained from members of Oath Keepers militia show that the group attempted to protect the congressman on January 6th because he had "critical data."

The panel wants to know what information Jackson had and said they are willing to meet with the representative in his district if needed.

In the letter to Brooks, the committee asked him to testify specifically about a statement he made in March about the election. 

"President Trump asked me to rescind the 2020 elections, immediately remove Joe Biden from the White House, immediately put President Trump back in the White House, and hold a new special election for the presidency," Brooks said, as quoted by the committee. "As a lawyer, I’ve repeatedly advised President Trump that January 6 was the final election contest verdict and neither the U.S. Constitution nor the U.S. Code permit what President Trump asks."

The Select committee requested Biggs discuss his "participation in certain planning meetings, both in person at the White House and remotely, regarding various aspects of planning for January 6th." 

The committee also asked him to elaborate on his alleged involvement in working to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
