National File can exclusively reveal that Rep. Mo Brooks has written a letter and is currently gaining signatures in the House of Representatives to urge House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell launch immediate Congressional hearings into election integrity.
In the letter, addressed to McConnell, Pelosi, and other Congressional leaders, Brooks and a yet unknown number of House Republicans are set to demand immediate Congressional hearings into the reports of widespread election fraud Americans have heard since November 3rd.
They note that the presidential election has been subject to “dozens” of lawsuits which “may or will be the subject of extensive floor debate” on January 6th when Congress will assess the Electoral College votes. As Congress is “the final and ultimate judge, jury, and arbiter of all contested elections,” they must hold hearings immediately:
We request that your committees do their jobs on behalf of our country and immediately and without delay hold evidentiary and other hearings necessary to fully investigate and probe the anomalies of the 2020 general election, so that Congressmen and Senators will be fully informed as we face contests and questions about the legitimacy and validity of all federal elections held on November 3rd, 2020.
The letter demands that the hearings “probe all allegations of illegal conduct concerning [the election]; investigate systemic problems affecting our elections; hear from election experts to explore legislative solutions that lessen the impact of fraudulent and illegal votes and restores faith that America can hold a free and fair election.”
National File understands that Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) will be one of the first to sign on. Gosar has been a repeated surrogate for election integrity since the November election, and has appeared at Stop the Steal rallies in Arizona.
At present, National File understands that along with Gosar, Reps. Lance Gooden, Bob Gibbs, David Rouzer, Brian Babin, Ted Budd, Ralph Norman, Andy Biggs, Jody Hice, Jeff Duncan, Greg Steube, Randy Weber, Mike Kelly, Mike Rogers, and Louie Gohmert, have all indicated they will sign the letter.
The letter follows a similar demand from 26 Republican Representatives-elect. This letter, only addressed to Pelosi, was signed by many members of the new wave of America First Republicans who widely attained their seats by tapping into the issues and accomplishments important to supporters of President Donald Trump and his America First agenda.
“Americans should be able to have faith that our elections are free and fair,” said Representative-elect Jerry Carl (R-AL) in a tweet.
Tonight I joined 25 of my @GOP colleagues in sending a letter to Speaker Pelosi demanding an investigation into the voting irregularities in the 2020 election. Americans should be able to have faith that our elections are free and fair. #al01 #alpolitics pic.twitter.com/z4bzY5Uebq

This latest move appears to be part of Brooks’ ongoing effort to challenge Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College. National File can confirm that both members of the U.S. House and Senate are considering joining Brooks to contest the results in key states and potentially trigger a contingent election.
“In my judgement, if only lawful votes by eligible American citizens were cast, [President] Donald Trump won the Electoral College by a significant margin, and Congress’s certification should reflect that,” Brooks said at the start of the month, announcing his plan to contest the results. “This election was stolen by the socialists engaging in extraordinary voter fraud and election theft measures,” he added.
Representative-elect Barry Moore, also of Alabama, said he did not expect his letter to have much of an effect on Nancy Pelosi, and would be joining Brooks in his contesting of the Electoral College votes on January 6th. “This election was stolen,” he told Yellowhammer News. “If Democrats will use any means necessary to steal an election then we must use every means given to us by the Constitution to stop it.”
In the Senate, Republican Sens. Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Ted Cruz, and Sen-elect Tommy Tubberville have all indicated an interest in joining Brooks’ movement. Senator Paul said last week that he would make his decision after he has seen “all the legal challenges” regarding the election.
Update: In a tweet, Representative Gosar confirmed he will be signing the letter.
