Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., was among four House members referred to the House Ethics Committee.
The controversy surrounding Biggs, R-Ariz., comes as he is makes a longshot bid to become House speaker.Rep. Andy Biggs was among four Republican members of Congress referred Monday to the House Ethics Committee for failing to comply with a subpoena from the panel that investigated the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
In May, the select committee subpoenaed Biggs, along with McCarthy and Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania. None complied with the request, which sought information relating to"meetings at the White House, those who had direct conversations with President Trump leading up to and during the attack, and those who were involved in the planning and coordination of certain activities on and before Jan. 6," according to the committee.
The committee noted that Biggs participated in an effort determined by a federal judge that more likely than not involved a criminal effort by Trump to obstruct Congress from certifying Biden's victory. "Today’s actions by the illegitimate January 6 Committee are pure political theater,” he said in May. “The subpoenas and news of their issuance were leaked to the media before the impacted Members.“The January 6 Committee’s ongoing, baseless witch hunt is nothing more than an effort to distract the American people from the Democrats’ and Biden’s disastrous leadership.
