House Speaker Mike Johnson has appointed five Republicans to serve on the new GOP-led select subcommittee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, who led the investigation last Congress, will continue to head the probe. It will be a subcommittee on the House Judiciary Committee.

Republican Reps. Morgan Griffith of Virginia, Clay Higgins of Louisiana, Troy Nehls of Texas and Harriet Hageman of Wyoming were also named to the panel, according to an announcement made by the House clerk on Thursday.

The Republicans will join Democratic Reps. Eric Swalwell of California, Jasmine Crockett of Texas and Jared Moskowitz of Florida, who were appointed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Swalwell will serve as the top Democrat on the panel.

Democrats have fiercely opposed Johnson’s creation of the new subcommittee, which Republicans say will be focused on the security breach of the Capitol, including intelligence failures at the top levels.

I am SHOCKED that he didn't pick Gymsuit, who McCarthy had intended to be on there. The other 4 originally named and pulled in 2021, were Jim Banks, Rodney Davis, Kelly Armstrong and Troy Nehls.. From that original group, the only ones still in Congress are Nehls and Gymsuit.
