WASHINGTON — Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) today introduced a resolution establishing the new select subcommittee for the 119th Congress to continue Congress’ investigation into the events surrounding January 6, 2021.
Once the resolution is approved by the House, the work will be chaired by Rep. Loudermilk 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 clearly more work to be done. The resolution introduced today will establish this Select Subcommittee so we can continue our efforts to uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people. House Republicans remain intent on delivering the answers that House Democrats skipped over.”
Subcommittee Chairman Loudermilk released the following statement:
“I am honored to continue the investigation into the events surrounding January 6, 2021, and the failures that led to the breach of the U.S. Capitol. From my subcommittee investigation in the 118th Congress, we uncovered that 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. While my subcommittee did an incredible job last Congress, there is still much work to be done. I appreciate Speaker Johnson entrusting me to continue this important investigation, and I look forward to working with Chairman Jordan and his team. It is vital that we continue to uncover the facts and begin the task of making needed reforms to ensure this level of security failure may never happen again.”
Chairman Jordan released the following statement:
“The partisan January 6 Committee failed to uncover crucial pieces of information for the American people, and Rep. Loudermilk has been the leader in getting to the bottom of the Democrat-run Committee’s failures. Rep. Loudermilk will continue to work tirelessly to get everyone the truth.”
The House will consider the resolution after Members return to Congress from the August District Work Period.
