Republican Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia has secured a guarantee from House Speaker Mike Johnson to formalize an investigation into the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. This move signifies the Republican Party's commitment to making the investigation a key focus of its agenda in the upcoming Congress.
The details of the new committee are still being finalized, with one option being to give Speaker Johnson more control over the panel's appointments and direction. The aim is to continue the GOP-led investigations from the previous Congress, now that Republicans will have control over both chambers of Capitol Hill and the White House.
