The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 riot isn’t ready to cooperate with the Justice Department’s investigation of the same event.

After the DOJ asked the panel to share transcripts of its interviews, the committee's chairman said it will share its work product when it is finished conducting its own inquiry.

"It's our work product. It's the committee's work product," Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said. "We're in the midst of our work. If they want to come and talk, just like we've had other agencies to come and talk, we'd be happy to talk to them, but we can't give them access to our work product at this point.”

TRUMP UNLIKELY TO TESTIFY BEFORE JAN. 6 COMMITTEE 

Earlier in the day Tuesday, Thompson said the committee is not sure whether it is going to ask former President Donald Trump to testify. The committee has spoken with Trump’s children and other high-ranking officials from his administration, but Thompson said the panel isn’t sure whether Trump’s testimony will have any “value” in terms of the committee’s decision-making.

The Jan. 6 committee has been active recently. Last week, the panel sent subpoenas to five high-profile Republicans it believes played a significant role in the riot, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

There’s some doubt whether any of the Republicans are going to cooperate with the committee.

In March, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the DOJ investigation into the Capitol riot was the “most urgent” in the department’s history. Later that month, the DOJ requested funding to hire 131 additional attorneys to help with the investigation.

The DOJ investigation has led to more than 800 people receiving charges for their participation in the riot.
