House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) strongly criticized the Nancy Pelosi-appointed Select Committee on January 6 for allegedly deleting or password-protecting approximately 2 terabytes of data just days before Republicans assumed control of the House a year ago.

Earlier this week, the Oversight Subcommittee of the House Administration Committee, tasked with probing the 2021 Capitol riot and the preceding Democratic-led investigation, found that during the transition to GOP control in January 2023, more than 100 files were encrypted and erased from hard drives, as per the New York Post.

The select committee was expected to furnish Republican Chairman Barry Loudermilk of Georgia with four terabytes of archived data. However, the outlet reported that his committee only received two terabytes of data.

In an X post, Stefanik ripped the committee, of which former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) was a member.

“As I said from day one, Nancy Pelosi’s sham January 6th Committee was illegitimate and unconstitutional. It should come as a surprise to no one that Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney’s fake committee illegally deleted records of their sham investigation and obstructed justice,” Stefanik wrote in a post to X Tuesday. “The American people deserve full transparency.”

Cheney responded and linked to a statement that Stefanik made on the day of the Capitol riot.

“This is what ⁦⁦@EliseStefanik said, in a rare moment of honesty, about the January 6 attack on our Capitol,” Cheney wrote. “One day she will have to explain how and why she morphed into a total crackpot. History, and our children, deserve to know.”

In her previous statement, Stefanik referred to the riots as “a truly tragic day for America.”

In a statement to The Hill, a spokesperson for Stefanik dismissed Cheney’s remark.

“Liz Cheney’s only remaining relevance is that she will soon have to answer for her role in deleting and hiding evidence from the investigation into the sham January 6 Select Committee,” the spokesperson said.

Fox News reported earlier this week that the digital forensics firm employed by Loudermilk’s committee uncovered 117 files that were both deleted and encrypted on January 1, 2023, just days before Republicans assumed control of the committee and Thompson’s team was obligated to surrender all materials.

Additionally, Fox obtained a letter from Loudermilk to Thompson requesting access to the retrieved digital files.
