House Republicans Announce New Select Subcommittee to Continue the Investigation of the Events Preceding and Following January 6

WASHINGTON - Speaker Johnson and the House Republican Conference today announced the intent to establish a new select subcommittee for the 119th Congress to continue House Republicans' investigation into all events leading up to and after January 6.

The work will be chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) and exist as a Select Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4).

Speaker Johnson released the following statement:

"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. 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."

Chairman Jordan released the following statement:

"Rep. 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."

Subcommittee Chairman Loudermilk released the following statement:

"I am 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."
