Speaker Mike Johnson announced that House Republicans will form a select subcommittee to investigate the January 6 Capitol attack, responding to narratives from previous investigations. This comes shortly after President Trump's pardoning of nearly 1,600 individuals connected to the event, framing it as part of a Republican effort to reshape public perception.
