GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia revealed that House Speaker Mike Johnson promised him that his investigation into the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol will be \u201cformalized as a new committee.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is part of a larger plan by Republicans to keep going with several investigations they started in the last Congress, now that they control both houses of Congress and the White House.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Loudermilk said<\/a> the new committee\u2019s details are still being worked out, but one option is to make it so that Johnson has more say over who is put on the panel (called a \u201cselect committee\u201d) and how it works.<\/p>\n

Making a new committee to highlight Loudermilk\u2019s work, which included a report suggesting that former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney be charged by the FBI, keeps the Republican campaign to keep President Donald Trump from being held responsible for the violence on January 6 in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was so singularly focused that basically Trump created this entire problem,\u201d Loudermilk said of the former January 6 select committee that Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney helped lead. \u201cWhen in reality, it was a multitude of failures at different levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
