House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced on July 23 that Republicans would pursue passage of a resolution to form a new subcommittee that would investigate events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach.

If the resolution, introduced by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), is approved by the House, it would authorize the creation of the second House panel dedicated to exploring the events of the day, when protestors entered the U.S. Capitol, causing a delay in the certification of the 2020 election results.
