众议院特别委员会正在调查1月6日攻击美国国会大厦在调查上花费了200多万美元，包括10月至12月间的164万美元，这表明该小组的工作正在加快。

根据支出披露，164万美元大约是该委员会2021年7月至9月支出41.8万美元的四倍。支出的增加表明，在预计于今年春天和夏天举行的公开听证会和中期报告之前，该委员会正在扩大其工作。

该委员会支出的大幅增长很大一部分来自薪资的增加，该委员会报告称，去年最后三个月的人员薪酬为120万美元，而7月至9月仅为32.7万美元。

该委员会上个季度增加了12名工作人员，总人数从2021年9月的29人增加到41人。新员工包括具有研究有组织犯罪、恐怖主义、加密货币和金融犯罪经验的调查人员和律师，以及几位前联邦检察官。

委员会的工作人员被分成不同颜色的小组，每个小组专注于这项庞大调查的不同方面——从融资和极端组织到前总统唐纳德·特朗普的1月6日前后与共和党议员的沟通。

去年最后三个月，该委员会还在“其他服务”上花费了30多万美元，还在设备、用品、租金和公用事业上花了相当大的一笔钱。

根据备案文件，1月6日的委员会在第四季度的总支出略高于众议院情报委员会，后者报告的支出为161万美元。但这一金额远低于许多其他委员会，包括众议院监督与改革委员会、众议院司法委员会和众议院国土安全委员会，它们在第四季度分别花费了360万美元、220万美元和200万美元。

到目前为止，1月6日的小组已经进行了近600次采访，发出了超过75张传票，并从特朗普政府和白宫获得了数万份官方记录国家档案馆。

他们还寻求前总统核心圈子成员的记录，包括前纽约市长鲁迪·朱利安尼、特朗普的儿子埃里克·特朗普以及与特朗普的长子小唐纳德·特朗普订婚的竞选筹款人金伯利·吉尔福伊尔。

Jan. 6 committee spent $1.6M this past quarter, indicating heightened activity

The House select committee investigating theJan. 6 attackon the U.S. Capitol has spent more than $2 million on its investigation, including $1.64 million between October and December -- an indication that the panel's work is speeding up.

The $1.64 million is roughly four times the $418,000 the panel spent from July to September of 2021, according to spending disclosures. The increased spending is a sign of how much the committee is expanding its work ahead of public hearings and an interim report that's expected this spring and summer.

Much of the big jump in the committee's spending comes from an increase in payroll, with the panel reporting $1.2 million in personnel compensation in the final three months of last year compared to just $327,000 from July through September.

The committee hired 12 additional staff members last quarter, bringing the total headcount to 41, up from 29 in September of 2021. The new staffers include investigators and attorneys with experience studying organized crime, terrorism, cryptocurrency, and financial crimes, as well as several former federal prosecutors.

Committee staffers are divided into color-coded teams, with each group focused on a different aspect of the sprawling investigation -- from financing and extremist groups to former PresidentDonald Trump'scommunication with GOP lawmakers before and on Jan. 6.

The committee also spent more than $300,000 on "other services" in the final three months of last year, as well as a sizable amount on equipment, supplies, rent and utilities.

According to filings, the Jan. 6 committee overall spent just a little more in the fourth quarter than the House Intelligence Committee, which reported spending $1.61 million. But that amount was far less than many other committees, including the House Oversight & Reform Committee, the House Judiciary Committee, and the House Homeland Security Committee, which in the fourth quarter spent $3.6 million, $2.2 million and $2 million, respectively.

To date, the Jan. 6 panel has conducted nearly 600 interviews, issued more than 75 subpoenas, and obtained tens of thousands of official Trump White House and administration records from theNational Archives.

They have also sought records from members of the former president's inner circle, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Trump's son Eric Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, a campaign fundraiser who is engaged to Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
