House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced the formation of a new select subcommittee to continue the investigation into the events surrounding January 6, 2021. The subcommittee, to be chaired by Representative Barry Loudermilk, will operate under the jurisdiction of the House Judiciary Committee. The move aims to uncover what Johnson describes as the 'full truth' owed to the American people regarding the Capitol attack. This initiative follows previous Republican efforts to investigate the January 6 select committee, which they claim was politically motivated. The announcement comes amidst ongoing debates about the events of that day and the actions of various parties involved.
