Lawmaker who gave tours of Capitol will lead inquiry of January 6 panel

Georgia Republican Barry Loudermilk denied giving tours related to the January 6 riots until video was released

Barry Loudermilk, the Republican representative from Georgia who has been accused of giving tours of the Capitol building days before the January 6 insurrection, will lead a new House committee that will investigate the Democratic-controlled January 6 select committee.

On Tuesday, Loudermilk criticized the select committee, saying: The J6 committee chose to ignore the facts and pursue a particular political narrative. I will not do this."
