The House Oversight Committee has asked travel companies to help law enforcement find rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol last week and work to prevent more violence in the coming days as President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated.
The committee sent letters to hotel chains, bus lines, car rental companies and online travel agents, asking them to “retain all records” regarding reservations and services for the entire month of January “for potential use, if necessary, in future law enforcement or Congressional investigations.”
