More than 500 “preservation letters” have already been sent to various agencies and individuals, demanding that they not destroy certain documents and data, in anticipation of a GOP takeover, McCarthy declared when speaking with the New York Post.

“We’ve done the combination of all the different committees sending it already. We’ve been clear what we want and what we want to see,” McCarthy was quoted as saying last month, per a Politico reporter, who noted that “key” areas of investigation included the origins of COVID-19, the Justice Department allegedly going after parents at school board meetings, and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
