The panel is under pressure because it will expire when the current Congress ends at the beginning of next year, or 30 days after it releases its final report. And the investigation has amassed an unusually large amount of material, as hundreds of witnesses have turned over relevant documents. Preserving evidence is just one of many remaining questions about what is next for the investigation into the insurrection, and it could be a key issue if Republicans take the majority and start their own Jan. 6 probes, potentially with the ability to subpoena the committee’s documents.
The Jan. 6 panel could also work with the National Archives, Library of Congress or Government Printing Office to create a space to save the materials for decades to come. Professional contractors paid by the committee have already helped the panel organize some of the materials as part of the investigation.
