Summary
House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, announced a new subcommittee to investigate the January 6 attack, aiming to challenge findings that held Donald Trump responsible.
Chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, the panel seeks to reframe the riot as a result of intelligence and security failures, not deliberate violence.
This follows Trump’s sweeping pardons for all January 6 defendants, including those convicted of violence.
Critics warn these actions could encourage political violence, while Republicans claim they aim to “uncover the full truth.”
The ultimate irony being she is documented on that day calling everyone to try to get someone to do something about it.
