House Republicans approve new panel to ‘uncover all the facts’ of January 6 attack

Democrats decry creation of subcommittee as attempt to rewrite narrative and shift blame from Donald Trump

House Republicans have voted to establish a new subcommittee to reinvestigate the January 6 attack, a move that comes as Donald Trump has tried to rewrite the history of the most violent incident in US Capitol history.

Language to set up the Republican-led subcommittee was folded into a larger rule that passed along party lines. The new subcommittee follows Republican claims that the previous Democratic-led committee was biased against Trump.
