Kinzinger, one of two Republicans on the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 uprising, told CBS “Face the Nation” anchor Margaret Brennan that the circumstances of the missing messages remain to be seen. “We’ll know more on Tuesday,” Kinzinger said, noting that the committee had issued a subpoena for the records, which the agency said are no longer available because of replacement devices. Kinzinger said a Secret Service statement turned out to be “contradictory,” as the agency said only some of the files had been deleted and anything related to the investigation had been turned over. Abortion fight comes to Senate, White House COVID-19 coordinator says virus ‘still moving fast’ “To say the least, it’s pretty crazy that the Secret Service would end up deleting anything related to one of the most infamous days in American history, especially when it comes to the role of the Secret Service.” Last month, the House panel heard testimony from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who said she heard that on Jan. 6, Trump lunged for the steering wheel and an agent in his presidential vehicle, demanding to join the his supporters on Capitol Hill. Kinzinger said that while he would welcome hearing directly from the Secret Service, it is unlikely that the committee will hear from anyone in the agency to testify at the next hearing on Thursday.
