Georgia GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk will lead a new investigation into the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, aiming to focus on security failures rather than former President Trump’s role. The move follows his meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson and aligns with Republican efforts to challenge the findings of the previous Democratic-led committee.
Loudermilk criticized the prior investigation for its narrow focus on Trump and emphasized the need to address broader security concerns. With Republicans now in control of Congress, they plan to revisit probes into Hunter Biden’s business dealings and President Biden’s handling of classified documents, signaling ongoing partisan tensions.
