- The House Republican overseeing the Jan. 6 investigation tells Just the News that Speaker Mike Johnson has approved expanding the scope and “intensity” of the probe and increasing the investigative resources committed to it.
- “Speaker Johnson has been phenomenal in helping us with this,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk, chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, said Wednesday night in an interview with the “Just the News, No Noise” television show. “In fact, he’s given me a commission to not only press forward in the method we’ve been doing, but increase our intensity into this.”
- Loudermilk inherited the Jan. 6 probe when Republicans took over the House in January and has played a key role in releasing hundreds of hours of security footage, internal documents, and testimony that has markedly changed the public’s understanding of the Capitol riot and the events leading up to it.
