Georgia Republican Representative Barry Loudermilk is being asked to voluntarily answer questions before the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection about a group tour of the Capitol he led the day before the riot.

Panel chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said in a letter to Loudermilk that the interest in the tour is “based on our review of evidence in the Select Committee’s possession.”
