Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), has requested transcripts of interviews wiht Secret Service agents from Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s security detail regarding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/18-inch-pipe-bomb-found-behind-philadelphia-catholic-church-near-railroad-tracks-police\/\" title=\"18-inch ... Found Behind Philadelphia Catholic Church, Near Railroad Tracks: Police\">pipe bomb found<\/a> near the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters ahead of the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Loudermilk&#8217;s inquiry focuses on why Secret Service K-9 sweeps missed the bomb during their security check on the evening before the riot, even though Harris came within 20 feet of the device during her visit the next morning. The committee also seeks access to interviews with several unidentified individuals and documents related to potential phone data deletion by Secret Service employees in early 2021. The FBI has been investigating the case for years but has yet to identify a suspect, citing poor surveillance footage and extensive, yet inconclusive, inquiries. The pipe bombs are believed to have been intended to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >divert law enforcement attention<\/a> away from the Capitol during the riot.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Loudermilk asks for interview transcripts with Harris&rsquo;s Secret Service detail about DNC pipe bomb<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1839693\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A congressional committee investigating the events of<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/january-6\/\"> Jan. 6, 2021<\/a>, on Monday requested more information surrounding Secret Service agents who appeared to miss a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/never-forget-how-vicious-and-violent-was-the-lefts-top-to-bottom-anti-court-campaign\/\" title=\"Never Forget How Vicious And Violent Was The Left\u2019s Top-To-Bottom Anti-Court Campaign\">pipe bomb planted<\/a> in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/washington-dc\/\">Washington, D.C.<\/a>, during their security sweep of the area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rep.

But it was a plainclothes U.S. Capitol Police officer who first reported finding the bomb, still undetonated, later that afternoon, around the same time the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/us-capitol\/\">Capitol<\/a> was breached. Harris came within 20 feet of the bomb placed at the DNC during her visit to the location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is generally accepted that the pipe bombs acted as a means of diverting law enforcement resources away from the Capitol, notably at almost precisely the same time as protestors started to breach the Capitol perimeter,&rdquo; Loudermilk wrote this week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/rollcall.com\/2024\/03\/12\/house-panel-shows-video-of-sweeps-that-missed-jan-6-pipe-bomb\/\">congressional hearing<\/a> last year on the DNC pipe bomb, Loudermilk said two Secret Service K-9 sweeps seemed to miss the bomb, as well as a second pipe bomb similarly planted at the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican-national-committee\/\">Republican National Committee<\/a> headquarters on Jan. 5<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I mean, the Secret Service did two sweeps of the perimeter out there. Never identified the bomb that was left to be seen,&rdquo; Loudermilk said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the Jan. 6 committee chairman requested the Secret Service turn over all documents and communications relating &ldquo;to a cell phone migration, system upgrade, or any other process or act by which employees of the United States Secret Service had their phones wiped of all electronic communications in the January&ndash;April 2021 timeframe.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The FBI has been investigating the pipe bomb planter&rsquo;s identity for years. The agency has blamed its inability to trace the suspect on several issues, including what it described as inferior surveillance cameras in the areas around the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-spending-6-1-million-on-database-for-capitol-riot-prosecutions\/\" title=\"DOJ Spending .1 Million On \u2018Database\u2019 For Capitol ...
