Terms and conditions may apply: Doug Mastriano threatens to back out of Jan. 6 cooperation
An attorney for Doug Mastriano, the anti-abortion, pro-Trump gubernatorial candidate in Pennsylvania, informed the Jan. 6 committee this week that his client would only sit for a deposition if he could personally record the session.
Betsy Woodruff Swan over at Politico reported the development first on Friday, noting that the request from Tim Parlatore is almost certain to be dismissed by the select committee.
Mastriano, who helped organize charter buses to take former President Donald Trump’s supporters to the Capitol on Jan. 6, is concerned about foul play by members of the probe and how they might use his testimony to share “disinformation” or otherwise interfere in his race for the governorship, Parlatore wrote.
