Fedsurrection: House GOP Launches New Jan. 6 Probe with Trump’s Direct Support

comment-1 Created with Sketch Beta.

After months of jurisdictional disputes and bureaucratic delays, House Republicans, spurred by President Donald J. Trump, have established a new Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding Jan. 6, 2021.

The panel, announced Wednesday by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will operate under the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., with full subpoena power.

Set to begin its work on September 2, 2025, the subcommittee aims to address lingering issues from the January 6 Capitol riot, including the identity of the pipe bomber, the role of undercover federal agents or confidential human sources in the crowd, the killing of protester Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland, and alleged misconduct by the prior Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee.

The formation of the subcommittee marks a significant victory for Loudermilk, who has been investigating Jan. 6 issues since the 118th Congress under the House Administration Committee.

Sources familiar with the process contend Trump’s direct intervention, insisting Congress conduct a real investigation into the "fedsurrection", was pivotal.

Loudermilk described a critical meeting with the president that broke the logjam.

"I got called in by the president," Loudermilk told CNN. "We sat and talked for a while. And he was asking, 'What is the stall?' Because he had expected it to be done early in the year too. We talked about it, he engaged with the speaker’s office."

This personal push from Trump, sources say, resolved disputes over the panel’s scope, granting Loudermilk authority to probe beyond the Judiciary Committee’s jurisdiction if needed.

The subcommittee’s creation follows months of frustration, with delays reportedly caused by competing legislative priorities like a government shutdown and Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill."

Jurisdictional tussles also slowed progress, with Speaker Johnson initially proposing a narrower focus that Loudermilk resisted.

The resolution, filed Wednesday, establishes an eight-member panel, with three Democratic slots subject to Johnson’s approval, and a mandate to issue a final report by December 31, 2026.

The subcommittee’s mission has sparked sharp reactions, with supporters arguing it’s a long-overdue reckoning.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton emphasized the need for introspection within Congress itself.

"This is an important development,” Fitton told The Blaze. "The challenge is the investigation must turn inward on the House! Who protected [Lt. Michael] Byrd? Who made decisions and when about U.S. Capitol security measures? What about collusion with Biden DOJ, Fani Willis, etc., to jail Trump and other Americans? There is no comparable congressional corruption and abuse in American history."

Fitton’s remarks underscore the panel’s focus on alleged cover-ups, including the actions of former Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt, and missing disciplinary records that former Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger failed to address.

Mike Howell of the Oversight Project echoed the urgency, pointing to the broader implications of January 6.

"January 6th was the fulcrum event for the weaponization of government,” Howell told The Blaze. "It provided the supposed moral cover and justification for some of the worst abuses by law enforcement and the intelligence community in United States history. This committee should have been stood up long ago, particularly when it became evident that the supposed Weaponization Subcommittee was an unserious exercise, but better late than never."

The panel will confront systemic abuses, with the Oversight Project pledging support for subpoena enforcement battles.

Democrats, predictably, claim the effort is a distraction.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., former chair of the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee, didn’t mince words.

"Loudermilk’s investigation in the Select Committee is now into its third year and they have found absolutely nothing," Thompson told CNN. "Continuing it is not only pathetic, it sets our democracy back. Republicans will do literally anything to protect Trump and distract from releasing the Epstein files."

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., another member of the original J6 committee, called it a "desperate and laughable ploy by Trump to change the subject from the Epstein Files," while urging Johnson to honor police who defended the Capitol.

The subcommittee’s agenda reportedly includes probing the Biden DOJ’s decision to clear Byrd, the destruction of records by the prior Jan. 6 committee, and alleged perjury by former Capitol Police officers Harry Dunn and David Lazarus in the 2022 Oath Keepers trial.

Loudermilk’s prior work, including a December 2024 report accusing former Rep. Liz Cheney of witness tampering, sets the stage for a contentious investigation, bolstered by a Trump administration promising cooperation.

Over 1,600 Americans were prosecuted for protesting at the Capitol that fateful day, many for simply being there, while the real orchestrators sip martinis in D.C. cocktail lounges. This was a setup, a false flag, a psychological operation to justify the greatest crackdown on liberty in modern history.

The Deep State used January 6 as the "fulcrum event" to justify weaponizing the FBI, DOJ, and intelligence agencies against the American people — a manufactured crisis to unleash a surveillance state and crush the MAGA movement.

The Biden regime’s prosecutors, now conveniently sidelined by Trump’s administration, turned January 6 into a cudgel to jail dissenters and scare the rest of us into compliance. But the tide’s turning.
