In the letter, the committee says it wants to discuss Perry's attempted effort to install former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark as acting attorney general.
"We have received evidence from multiple witnesses that you had an important role in the efforts to install Mr. Clark as acting Attorney General," Thompson said in the letter."
Thompson adds that then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and then-acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, who have both been interviewed by the committee, "have provided evidence regarding these issues, and we have received evidence that others who worked with Mr. Clark were aware of these plans."
"The letter to Perry also states that the committee is aware of "multiple text and other communications" with Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows, including evidence that the pair communicated over the encrypted app called Signal.
Addressing Perry's role in spreading misinformation about the 2020 presidential election directly, the committee writes in its letter that it is aware that the Pennsylvania lawmaker communicated with the White House about a variety of topics including "allegations that the Dominion voting machines had been corrupted."
