House Republicans to Investigate Jan 6 Committee

House Republicans announced that they will develop a panel to investigate the January 6 Committee despite its members being pardoned by former President Joe Biden.

“House Republicans are proud of our work so far in exposing the false narratives peddled by the politically motivated January 6 Select Committee during the 117th Congress, but there is still more work to be done,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in a statement. “We are establishing this Select Subcommittee to continue our efforts to uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people. The composition and other details regarding the Select Subcommittee will be announced soon.”

Loudermilk said he is “honored to be tasked with continuing the investigation into the events surrounding January 6, 2021, and the failures that led to the breach of the United States Capitol. What happened at the Capitol that day was the result of a series of intelligence, security, and leadership failures at multiple levels within numerous entities. I appreciate Speaker Johnson’s commitment to our work, and I am looking forward to working with Chairman Jim Jordan to continue to uncover all the facts and begin the arduous task of making needed reforms to ensure this level of security failure may never happen again.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) stated that Loudermilk has been the “leader in getting to the bottom of what the Democrat-led January 6 Committee failed to uncover, and we look forward to helping him bring all the facts to the American people.”

Loudermilk previously called for an investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney. His call followed revelations that Cheney colluded with witness Cassidy Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge surrounding the House Select Committee on January 6 interviews.

The report said that Cheney likely broke “numerous federal laws” and should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

“Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge. This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause,” the report continued.

The report urged the FBI to investigate Cheney for violating a U.S. code that “prohibits any person from procuring another person to commit perjury.”
