What exhibits or documents in the Select Committee’s archived materials reference Turning Point Action or Turning Point USA by name?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
A search of the materials provided for review shows no exhibit or document from the Select Committee materials cited here that names Turning Point Action or Turning Point USA; the only Select Committee item in the supplied set is a Library of Congress digital file tied to the Senate Watergate hearings, not to modern Jan. 6 or campaign‑activity exhibits [1]. The Library of Congress separately maintains archived web collections for both Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action, but those are web‑archive catalog records, not Select Committee exhibits [2] [3].
1. What the supplied Select Committee item actually is
The single “Select Committee” item among the provided sources is a Library of Congress digital file described as a drawing connected to the Senate Watergate Committee and its materials, not a docket, deposition, or exhibit list from the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 or presidential campaign activities; the LOC record explicitly ties the image to the Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities (Watergate era) and provides access guidance rather than an exhibit inventory [1].
2. Where Turning Point appears in the Library of Congress holdings shown here
Separately, the Library of Congress catalog entries in the supplied reporting show that the LOC has archived web materials for Turning Point USA and for Turning Point Action and provides catalog records and citation guidance for those archived sites—records that identify the organizations’ web presences and note how researchers should cite archived web pages [2] [3].
3. Other supplied sources that reference Turning Point organizations (but not as Select Committee exhibits)
Beyond the LOC web‑archive entries, the supplied materials include regulatory and journalistic records about Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA—an FEC committee page for Turning Point Action [4], a Citizens for Ethics (CREW) complaint document referencing Turning Point Action material preserved in the Internet Archive [5], profile and watchdog reporting on Turning Point USA [6] [7], the Turning Point Action homepage [8], and broader press‑encyclopedic writeups that discuss TPUSA and TPAction activities [9].
4. What the supplied reporting does not show — and why that matters
None of the supplied Select Committee materials explicitly list an exhibit or document that references Turning Point Action or Turning Point USA by name; the only Select Committee record in the set is the Watergate drawing [1], while the LOC entries for Turning Point are separate archival catalog records [2] [3]. That distinction matters because web‑archive cataloging at the Library of Congress is not the same as inclusion of materials as exhibits in a congressional investigative record; the supplied FEC, watchdog, and media records reference the organizations but are not presented here as Select Committee exhibits [4] [5] [6] [8] [7] [9].
5. Alternative frame and reporting agendas to note
Some journalistic and watchdog sources in the set discuss Turning Point USA/Action involvement in political mobilization and fundraising and cite archived web material or campaign finance records [5] [6] [9], which can create an impression of institutional linkage to investigative records; researchers should distinguish between (a) Library of Congress web‑archive catalog entries and (b) actual Select Committee exhibits or deposition files—this distinction is reflected in the LOC descriptions and the separate FEC and watchdog materials provided [2] [3] [4] [5].
6. Limits of this review and next steps for verification
This analysis is limited to the documents and links provided in the supplied reporting; it cannot certify the contents of the full Select Committee archive beyond the LOC item shown here nor search other repositories. To confirm whether any Select Committee exhibits elsewhere name Turning Point Action or Turning Point USA, researchers should consult the full Select Committee records or exhibit indexes directly (the provided LOC entry for the committee item contains access instructions) and cross‑check with the LOC web‑archive records that catalogue the organizations’ archived web pages [1] [2] [3].
