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.”
