The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol has asked Fox News host Sean Hannity to cooperate with their investigation and to answer questions about text messages he sent former President Donald Trump, his aides, and lawyers around that time.

In a letter (pdf) to Hannity on Tuesday, Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) asked that he voluntarily answer questions “on a specific and narrow range of factual questions.”
