Dear Ms. Willis:
I write to you today to request your cooperation in my investigation into the security failures at the United
States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Based on information recovered by this Subcommittee, we have reason to
believe that your office interviewed Ms. Cassidy Hutchinson, who also provided testimony to the Select
Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (“Select Committee”). The
testimony provided by Ms. Hutchinson in the course of your investigation is relevant to our evaluation of her
testimony and the direct implications her testimony has on the security of the United States Capitol.
As Chairman of the Subcommittee, I have jurisdiction over the safety and security of the United States Capitol.1
The Subcommittee is also the successor of the records of the Select Committee.2 It has been made evident that
the Select Committee failed to turn over all their records related to their investigation, despite House rules
requiring them to.3 Furthermore, as the Subcommittee continues our investigation, we must assess the
truthfulness of the testimony that the Select Committee relied heavily on in their investigation. It is therefore
imperative that this Subcommittee review any and all records and materials in Fulton County’s possession that
were acquired from both Ms. Hutchinson and the Select Committee.
As part of the Subcommittee’s investigation, we have discovered a letter from you, in your capacity as Fulton
County District Attorney, to the Select Committee dated December 17, 2021.4 In this letter, you requested
access to any Select Committee records relevant to your office’s investigation into President Trump’s actions to
challenge the 2020 presidential election, including “recordings and transcripts of witness interviews and
depositions, electronic and print records of communications, and records of travel.”5 Politico also reported that
your staff at the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office met with and had multiple phone calls with the Select
Committee.6 In the Select Committee’s Final Report, they confirm their close relationship with your office when
they wrote that they are “aware that both the U.S. Department of Justice and the Fulton County District

Attorney’s Office have already obtained information relevant to these matters, including from the Committee
directly.”7 I now seek the same cooperation from you and your office in our ongoing investigation.
This Subcommittee obtained evidence that your staff in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office made
numerous attempts to reach out to Cassidy Hutchinson to seek her testimony. Specifically, individuals from
your office reached out to Ms. Hutchinson’s mother in an attempt to reach Ms. Hutchinson. The Subcommittee
is evaluating the reliability of Ms. Hutchinson’s testimony, which was heavily relied on by the Select
Committee, and the findings related to the security of the United States Capitol, it is crucial for us to review any
documents and records you have provided by or obtained from Ms. Hutchinson.
Accordingly, I ask that you respond to the following no later than June 20, 2024.
1. Did anyone affiliated with the Fulton County District Attorney’s communicate with Ms. Hutchinson at
any time between January 1, 2021, and today, June 5, 2024?
If the answer to this question is yes, please provide the names of the individuals who communicated with Ms.
Hutchinson and the dates of these communications. Additionally, please provide my staff copies of these
communications to aid in our investigation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Barry Loudermilk
