congressional correspondent ryan nobles. what have you learned about this with the january 6th committee? reporter: we know it s starting to happen, anderson. this was, of course, a big roadblock to the department of justice s investigation as it expanded into areas beyond the rioters that breached the capitol on that day and started looking into more of the efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. they were very interested in many of the interviews of the january 6 select committee had already conducted, but the committee was reluctant to hand over those transcribed interviews to the department of justice because they considered it their work, their property and they wanted to be able to make sure that they had it in their possession as their investigation moved forward. this became somewhat of a standoff between doj and the january 6th select committee, but now they re starting to find areas of common ground and the select committee chairman bennie thompson telling
