It’s what you do.”

The Department of Homeland Security had information,” he added. “That information was sent to the Capitol Police Intelligence Division, but it was never communicated further.

Some Republicans have argued that the reported collusion between the committee and Wills was intended to obscure Willis' findings in the Trump case and hide them from public view. Breitbart News' Joel Pollack reported that the collusion could upend Willis' prosecution, “to keep it away from discovery requirements that would have revealed to the defense what was shared and the scope of the collusion.” That's because the evidence was hidden.”
