News that a former adviser to the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection is publishing a book billed as a behind-the-scenes look at the committees work came as a shock to most lawmakers and committee staff when it was announced last week.
Denver Riggleman, a former Republican congressman, is set to publish The Breach on Tuesday, just one day before the final public hearing of the Jan. 6 panel, which has gone to extraordinary lengths to prevent unauthorized leaks, as well as keep its sources and methods of investigation under wraps.
In one of his appearances on CNN, Riggleman detailed his teams work to link names and numbers after receiving a cache of text messages from former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Calling the messages a road map, he contended the data obtained from the messages allowed the committee to structure the investigation. The cache of Meadowss texts was obtained by CNN earlier this spring.
Macmillan Publishers description of his forthcoming book, which Riggleman co-authored with journalist Hunter Walker, teases previously unpublished texts from key political leaders, along with shocking details about the Trump White Houses links to militant extremist groups.
