The panel will be led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk under the House Judiciary Committee.

House Republicans led by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced a new select subcommittee investigating the events before and after the breach at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The subcommittee is mandated to “uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people,” Johnson said in a statement on Jan. 22, adding that the panel will be led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.).

The committee will fall under the Judiciary Committee’s oversight, he said.

“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,” the speaker said, referring to a now-disbanded committee that was led by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

Few details were released about the scope of the new subcommittee’s work and whom it might investigate.

“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,“ Loudermilk said in the statement, adding that it will be a continuation of an ”investigation into the events.”

Previously, Loudermilk helped commission the release of multiple reports on Jan. 6, including one in December 2024 that was largely critical of the Cheney-led subcommittee. It also called for the former Wyoming congresswoman to be investigated “for potential criminal witness tampering based on the new information about her communication.”

In one of his last acts in office, President Joe Biden on Jan. 20 issued a preemptive pardon for Cheney, Thompson, and other members of the Jan. 6 subcommittee. Earlier in January, the former president awarded the second-highest civilian medal to Cheney and to Thompson for their work on the panel.

Later on, Trump, in one of his first acts as president, pardoned about 1,500 defendants who were charged with various Jan. 6-related crimes, including individuals associated with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who were convicted of seditious conspiracy charges.

“This is a big one,” Trump said in the Oval Office while he signed pardons.

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.
