US EditionAt Trump’s Insistence, GOP Launches a New January 6 Committee
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, JUL 25 – House Republicans formed a new select subcommittee to re-examine the January 6 Capitol attack at former President Trump's request, aiming to challenge prior findings, GOP Rep. Loudermilk said.
- GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk announced he will lead a new select subcommittee to re-investigate the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack starting this September in Washington, D.C.
- This subcommittee formed at President Trump’s request follows his early June summons to Loudermilk to question why Republicans had delayed launching a new probe.
- The panel has subpoena power and will focus on dismantling the Democrat-led committee's findings accusing Trump of fueling the riot, with Loudermilk saying they can now move "a whole lot faster."
- Democrats, including Rep. Bennie Thompson and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, criticized the effort as a distraction from bipartisan demands to release Jeffrey Epstein files and said Loudermilk’s investigation found nothing.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson defended the move citing unfinished work, and Loudermilk said the friendly administration has committed to providing needed documents, implying a prolonged, contentious inquiry ahead.
