House Speaker Mike Johnson has committed to officially forming a new committee to investigate the attack on the U.S. Capitol that occurred on January 6, 2021. This committee, which will be chaired by GOP Rep.
Barry Loudermilk from Georgia, is part of a larger initiative by Republicans to continue and broaden the investigations that were initiated in the previous Congress. With control over both chambers of Congress and the presidency, Republicans are seizing the opportunity to advance their priorities and pursue longstanding political inquiries.
