From the New York Times story on the Judiciary report:
The report raised fresh questions about what role Representative Scott Perry, Republican of Pennsylvania, played in the White House effort to pressure the Justice Department to help upend the election. Mr. Perry called Mr. Donoghue to pressure him into investigating debunked election fraud allegations that had been made in Pennsylvania, the report said, and he complained to Mr. Donoghue that the Justice Department was not doing enough to look into such claims. Mr. Clark, the report said, also told officials that he had participated in the White House’s efforts at Mr. Perry’s request, and that the lawmaker took him to a meeting at the Oval Office to discuss voter fraud. That meeting occurred at around the same time that Mr. Perry and members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus met at the White House to discuss the Jan. 6 certification of the election results.
This is the latest controversy ensnaring Perry, who just this year has:
-
Led an effort to help former President Trump overturn the election.
-
Downplayed the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th
-
Voted against bipartisan investigations into January 6th
-
Spread debunked lies about the election
-
Compared his political opponents to Nazis
-
Pushed a dangerous white nationalist conspiracy theory
-
Spread misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines
-
Voted against a bill to address anti-Asian hate crimes
-
Opposed stimulus checks, small businesses aid, and a middle-class tax cut for families in PA-10
DCCC Spokesman James Singer
“Scott Perry is a treasonous goon who betrayed his oath of office and the people of Pennsylvania.”
