Ex-Congressman Denver Riggleman writes book about advising Jan. 6 committee
CBSN
Washington — Denver Riggleman, a former GOP congressman and former senior adviser for the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, sat down with "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker for exclusive interviews ahead of the Tuesday release of his new book, "The Breach."
Riggleman was in charge of analyzing the call records, texts and online activities of hundreds of people suspected of playing a role in the attack on the Capitol. He kept the book under wraps from the Jan. 6 committee while he was writing it. The House panel has just one more hearing scheduled, on Wednesday, Sept. 28.
"I've left some things out because the committee is still doing their investigation on some of these things, right? But I wanted the American people to see that we can build facts as a narrative as effective as building narrative out of fantasy," Riggleman told Whitaker.
