House Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP Representative Barry Loudermilk are at odds over the direction of the January 6 investigation. Johnson favors a limited review of the prior committee’s work and wants to avoid targeting figures like Liz Cheney. In contrast, Loudermilk and others support a broader probe, including Capitol security failures. Trump reportedly urged Johnson to prioritize this inquiry. Loudermilk, who has not yet launched his committee’s work, insists on autonomy and resources to investigate thoroughly. His previous report recommended the FBI investigate Cheney’s actions. Plans for a new select committee are still under discussion. Meanwhile, Republicans are reviving past investigations, including Biden’s handling of classified documents. Senator Adam Schiff, a past committee leader, may reject a pardon from President Biden, citing it could imply guilt, despite concerns of Trump’s possible retaliation.
