As the newly Republican-controlled House of Representatives readies to push back against recent federal investigations, one GOP lawmaker says he won’t sit things out in spite of a potential conflict of interest.
The House is set to vote Monday on new rules including the formation of a special committee to probe the “weaponization of the federal government.” It’s expected to focus on prosecutions stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021 siege of the U.S. Capitol, among other issues.
The new panel would mark a major shift in direction from the recently dissolved special House committee that probed former President Donald Trump’s role in the siege.
