Former President Trump took to social media on Tuesday to blast the “January 5th Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs,” who “illegally destroyed their Records and Documents,” following comments by Rep.

The committee also failed to provide any evidence that it investigated Capitol Hill security failures on the day of the riot, Loudermilk added.
“Nothing was indexed. There was no table of contents index. Usually when you conduct this level of investigation, you use a database system and everything is digitized, indexed. We got nothing like that. We just got raw data,” he said. “So it took us a long time going through it and one thing I started realizing is we don’t have anything much at all from the Blue Team.”
The “Blue Team,” as described by Loudermilk, represents the group within the J6 committee that was directed to investigate security failures at the Capitol. Loudermilk explained that sources have told him the Blue Team was essentially “shut down” by the committee in order to focus on placing the blame on former President Trump. -Fox News
