Republican lawmakers are planning to open multiple inquiries into the conduct of the Democratic-led Jan. 6 committee from the last Congress, the security failures that occurred during the Capitol riot, as well as the treatment of rioters who were charged in the aftermath of the attack, according to CNN.Rep. Barry Loudermilk is expected to lead one of the inquiries in his position as chairman of the House Administration Committee's subcommittee on oversight, the outlet reported.
Former members of the Jan. 6 committee said they weren’t surprised by GOP efforts to investigate their work, noting they’ve been preparing for such a move since Republicans won control of the House in the midterm elections. The news of the investigations comes as Democrats and some Republicans have been critical of McCarthy’s handling of the Jan. 6 riot since taking on the mantle of House speaker. Although McCarthy previously steered clear of talking publicly about the Capitol attack, he has since reversed course after making promises to the right flank of his conference to revisit the topic in exchange for their support in his speakership bid.
Schumer also placed blame on McCarthy, decrying the House speaker as being “every bit as culpable” for making the footage available.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also weighed in on the matter, telling reporters that he thought Fox News’s portrayal of the riot was a “mistake.”
