Fairfax Station, VA 22039
Dear Mrs. Thomas:

On June 30, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives adopted House Resolution 503,
establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States
Capitol (the “Select Committee”). The Select Committee is investigating the facts, circumstances,
and causes of the January 6th attack and issues relating thereto. The Select Committee has recently
obtained additional information regarding the activities of John Eastman. The Committee believes
that you likely have information relevant to our investigation, and we request an interview with
you to discuss your knowledge of certain events and activities following the November 2020
presidential election. We respect your privacy, and our questions will be limited to issues relating
to January 6th, the activities that contributed to or influenced events on January 6th, and the
transfer of power after the presidential election.
We are specifically investigating the activities of President Trump, John Eastman, and
others as they relate to the Constitution and certain other laws, including the Electoral Count Act,
that set out the required process for the election and inauguration of the President. The Select
Committee has obtained evidence that John Eastman worked to develop alternate slates of electors
to stop the electoral count on January 6th. In early December, his efforts were in full swing. A
federal court recently stated that “his and President Trump’s pressure campaign to stop the
electoral count . . . targeted every tier of federal and state elected officials.” The Select Committee
has obtained evidence that you had certain communications with John Eastman during this time
period. We believe you may have information concerning John Eastman’s plans and activities
relevant to our investigation.
We would like to meet with you soon, but we also want to accommodate your schedule.
We propose meeting with you on July 6, 7, or 8, 2022. Please let us know whether one of those
dates will fit with your schedule. If you are unavailable on those dates, we can arrange a time
during the week of July 11, 2022.
We also ask that you preserve and provide to the Select Committee documents that are
relevant to our investigation. The categories of requested document are included in the attached
schedule, and we ask that you produce responsive documents at least one week before our meeting.

A full and accurate accounting of what happened on January 6th is critical to the Select
Committee’s legislative recommendations, and the American people deserve to understand all of
the relevant details. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Bennie G. Thompson Liz Cheney

Chairman Vice Chair
