Many Republican lawmakers have said that they want to "look forward, not back" regarding Jan. 6 and President Trump's pardons. But House Speaker Mike Johnson said he plans to establish a subcommittee that will look into the Capitol Riot and the committee that first investigated it.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday said he will establish a new select subcommittee that will probe the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — and likely dig into the now-defunct Jan. 6 select committee that was led by Rep.

The new committee will further seek to divert blame from Donald Trump for the riot by his supporters at the U.S. Capitol.
