House Jan. 6 investigators contact ex-Oath Keeper featured in ABC News documentary

House Jan. 6 investigators have contacted a former spokesman for the Oath Keepers militia, seeking to interview him about his time with the militia group and its founder.

House investigators looking into the siege of the U.S. Capitol a year ago have contacted a former spokesman for the Oath Keepers militia, seeking to interview him about his time with the militia group and its founder, Stewart Rhodes, according to the former Oath Keeper, Jason Van Tatenove, and a congressional source familiar with the matter.

The request to interview Van Tatenhove, who says he left the Oath Keepers by 2018, suggests that House investigators are casting a wide net as they gather information about Rhodes as they wait to see if he will cooperate with their probe.

Van Tatenhove told ABC News that he plans to answer the panel's questions, but he is first seeking legal counsel.

According to congressional sources, House investigators have been discussing Van Tatenhove for much of the day, after ABC News featured him in its new documentary "Homegrown: Standoff to Rebellion," now on Hulu, and in a story online about his ongoing efforts to "atone" and "make amends" for his time with the Oath Keepers.
