Newly unearthed congressional letters have confirmed the worst fears of Trump supporters — that the January 6th Committee was never about “defending democracy” but about weaponizing government power to destroy President Donald J. Trump.
The shocking letters, released by congressional investigators, show direct coordination between disgraced former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Special Counsel Jack Smith, the Biden Justice Department’s top political hitman.
Authored by Cheney and then–Committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the two documents reveal that the anti-Trump duo quietly handed over materials from their so-called investigation before Republicans took back the House in 2023.
The letters, dated December 2022, confirm that the Jan. 6 panel transferred at least 16 interviews and deposition transcripts to Smith’s office. These included attached exhibits, text messages, and even spreadsheets detailing Trump administration communications.
One of the letters explicitly stated the committee’s intention to make all gathered evidence “available to the Department of Justice.” That statement alone shatters any illusion of separation between the congressional probe and Smith’s ongoing witch hunt.
Within just four days, Cheney and Thompson wrote again to Smith, this time proudly announcing they had sent text messages from Trump’s then–Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and confidential documents from attorney John Eastman.
“Along with the latter, we are producing a staff-created spreadsheet of the Meadows texts that contain additional information from privilege logs,” they bragged, showing a complete disregard for privacy and executive privilege.
The pair even promised to send “additional evidence on a rolling basis,” effectively making the Jan. 6 Committee an unofficial branch of the Biden Department of Justice.
According to the House Judiciary Committee, these newly revealed communications prove that the partisan panel worked “hand-in-hand” with Smith to politically target Trump and his associates.
Smith, who was personally appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, would go on to indict Trump twice — once over a records dispute with the National Archives, and again over Trump’s challenge to the 2020 election results.
The collusion between Cheney’s committee and Smith’s prosecutors shows that the Jan. 6 operation was part of a coordinated effort to criminalize political opposition.
It also raises serious questions about the ethics of lawmakers sharing privileged materials with a prosecutor before their own investigation had even formally concluded.
Many Republicans are now calling it one of the most blatant abuses of congressional power in modern American history.
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who is leading the current probe into the Jan. 6 Committee’s activities, says the revelations confirm that the previous panel may have engaged in “criminal or unethical behavior.”
Loudermilk’s new investigation is focused on allegations that the committee deleted files, manipulated evidence, and conducted itself as an arm of the Democratic Party rather than a neutral fact-finding body.
Adding to the outrage, both Cheney and Thompson reportedly received preemptive pardons from President Joe Biden for any actions tied to the Jan. 6 investigation.
That revelation has sparked fury among conservatives, who view the pardons as a blatant attempt to shield political allies from accountability.
The original Jan. 6 Committee was hand-selected by then–Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who barred pro-Trump lawmakers from serving on it — ensuring the panel’s conclusions were politically one-sided from the start.
Cheney, who lost her seat in a landslide after turning on Trump, used her position to promote the Democrat narrative that the former president was responsible for the Capitol riot.
Meanwhile, Thompson oversaw the committee’s public hearings, which featured selectively edited footage, staged testimony, and heavily scripted “evidence” designed to manipulate public opinion.
Now, the release of these letters confirms that behind the scenes, the same individuals who claimed to be seeking “truth” were secretly feeding information to federal prosecutors.
Even worse, that information would later form the backbone of Smith’s politically motivated indictments against President Trump.
The entire saga paints a disturbing picture of government collusion — where congressional Democrats, anti-Trump Republicans, and DOJ officials conspired to weaponize the legal system against a sitting and future president.
For millions of Americans, these revelations only reaffirm what they have long believed: that the Jan. 6 investigation was a partisan hit job masquerading as justice.
Unexplained bruises—especially on arms, legs, or torso—can be more than just “aging.” While occasional bruising is normal, sudden or frequent bruises, especially with other symptoms, may signal serious health issues.
Major causes include blood disorders like low platelets or leukemia (large bruises, petechiae, nosebleeds, fatigue), medication side effects (blood thinners, steroids causing easy bruising), vitamin deficiencies (C or K, slow-healing bruises, bleeding gums), autoimmune attacks (lupus, vasculitis causing bruises along vessels, joint pain, rashes), and liver disease (abdominal bruises, jaundice, swelling).
“Natural remedies” like cabbage leaves or arnica may reduce surface bruising but do not address underlying conditions. If you notice unexplained bruises, track them with photos, check for new medications, and request tests including CBC, PT/INR, and liver panels.
Seek immediate care for bruises with petechiae, blood in urine/stool, confusion, or after minor head injury. Protect blood vessels with vitamin C and K, avoid unnecessary blood thinners, and get screened regularly. Dismissing sudden bruising as normal aging can hide serious, treatable conditions—your body is signaling when something is wrong, and early attention can save lives.
