ABC | Congressional Democrats have demanded an investigation into what they call "suspicious behavior and access" for some visitors the day before the Capitol assault, alleging that unnamed lawmakers led "an extremely high number of outside groups" through the building on what they say could have been "reconnaissance" tours.
During a Facebook Live on Tuesday, New Jersey Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill claimed that she witnessed unnamed members of Congress lead groups of people through the Capitol on a "reconnaissance" tour on Jan. 5, though it is common for lawmakers to guide constituents through the building.
Sherrill also alleged that Republicans "abetted" President Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the results of the election, promising that she would "see they are held accountable, and if necessary, ensure that they don't serve in Congress."
The New Jersey Democrat, a former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot and former
federal prosecutor, joined more than 30 lawmakers signing a letter
Wednesday to request an investigation from the acting House
sergeant-at-arms, the acting Senate sergeant-at-arms, and the United
States Capitol Police.
