House Republicans Create New Jan 6 Committee Led by Loudermilk

House Republicans have established a new January 6 subcommittee led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) to investigate the investigators of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Unlike the original bipartisan committee, which found President Donald Trump as the central cause of the riot and issued criminal referrals against him, this new panel is focused on scrutinizing the previous committee's work and alleged misinformation. The creation of this subcommittee marks a clear effort by House Republicans to rewrite the history of the insurrection and shift blame away from Trump, emphasizing alleged security failures rather than the actions of the mob. The new committee has subpoena power and includes both Republicans and Democrats, though Democrats largely oppose the effort. Critics, including Democratic lawmakers, argue this move is politically motivated and aimed at educating younger generations with a revisionist narrative. The original committee's findings remain unchallenged by concrete evidence despite the new subcommittee's attempts.
