Kremer played an influential role in organizing protests and rallies across the country pushing former President Donald Trump\u2019s claims that the 2020 election was stolen.<\/p>\n<p>The committee appears to be most interested in whether rally organizers worked directly with the White House prior to Jan. 6. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/21\/liz-cheney-agrees-nancy-pelosi-rejecting-two-republicans-jim-jordan-jim-banks-january-6-select-committee\/\"><strong>(RELATED: Liz Cheney Says She Agrees With Speaker Pelosi On Rejecting Two Republicans For The Jan. 6 Select Committee)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe investigation has revealed credible evidence of your involvement in events within the scope of the Select Committee\u2019s inquiry,\u201d the committee wrote of Kremer. \u201cAccording to documents provided to the Select Committee, press reports, and statements by you and your organization, Women for America First, you participated in the organization and sponsorship of the rally held on the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021, in support of then-president Trump and his allegations of election fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7270718\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"35\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7270718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Chairman Rep.
