WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack by Donald Trump\u2019s supporters requested interviews with three Republican lawmakers, saying they have information about the planning of events that day.<\/p>

In a press release on Monday, the Jan. 6 Select Committee said it was seeking voluntary cooperation from three House Republicans: Representatives Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks and Ronny Jackson.<\/p>\n

Biggs, Brooks and Jackson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Representatives Benny Thompson and Liz Cheney, who lead the Select Committee, said in a statement that their colleagues have a patriotic duty to cooperate with the investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Select Committee has learned that several of our colleagues have information relevant to our investigation into the facts, circumstances, and causes of January 6th,\u201d Thompson and Cheney said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we work to provide answers to the American people about that day, we consider it a patriotic duty for all witnesses to cooperate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether the three lawmakers will voluntarily cooperate with the panel remains to be seen. Earlier this year, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy rejected demands by the committee for testimony, saying it does not serve \u201cany legislative purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooks, an Alabama Republican, had a falling out with Trump in March after Trump accused him of not doing enough to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

After Trump withdrew his endorsement of Brooks\u2019 struggling campaign, Brooks issued a statement in March accusing Trump of making unconstitutional demands to rescind the 2020 election results.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump asked me to rescind the 2020 elections, immediately remove Joe Biden from the White House, immediately put President Trump back in the White House, and hold a new special election for the presidency,\u201d Brooks said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a lawyer, I\u2019ve repeatedly advised President Trump that January 6 was the final election contest verdict,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In late March, a U.S. judge ruled that former President Donald Trump \u201cmore likely than not\u201d committed a felony by trying to pressure his vice president to obstruct Congress and overturn his election defeat on Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n
