The select House panel investigating the events surrounding the Capitol riot made a false accusation against a witness, Bernard Kerik. Kerik is a former employee of President Trump’s former attorney, Rudy Giuliani.

The Washington Examiner reports:

The committee accused Kerik in a subpoena of attending a meeting in Washington, D.C., to discuss possible ways of overturning the 2020 presidential election. However, tollbooth records contradict this claim and show that he was in New York City at the time of the alleged meeting, Just The News reported .

“You reportedly participated in a meeting on January 5, 2021, at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., in which Rudolph Giuliani, Stephen Bannon, John Eastman, and others discussed options for overturning the results of the November 2020 election such as, among other things, pressuring Vice President Pence to not certify the electoral college results,'” the committee said in its Nov. 8 subpoena .

The committee said it had “credible evidence” and cited two articles from the Washington Post that did not actually say Kerik attended the Jan. 5 meeting. Instead, the articles suggested that he had been to that hotel “around” the time of Jan. 6.

The panel acknowledged its mistake in a statement.

“In advance of our deposition of Mr. Kerik, we wanted to correct an error in the letter accompanying the subpoena,” the committee said in its letter, according to Just The News . “Nonetheless, the Select Committee still believes that Mr. Kerik has information about efforts to evaluate claims of election fraud and other matters relevant to its inquiry.”

The committee also accused him of paying for hotel rooms that served as “election-related command centers.”
