House Republicans approve new panel to 'uncover all the facts' of January 6 attack

House Republicans have voted to establish a new subcommittee to reinvestigate the January 6 attack, a move that comes as Donald Trump has tried to rewrite the history of the most violent incident in US Capitol history.

Language to set up the Republican-led subcommittee was folded into a larger rule that passed along party lines. The new subcommittee follows Republican claims that the previous Democratic-led committee was biased against Trump.

The vote comes seven months after House speaker Mike Johnson first announced the new subcommittee in January, saying that it will “uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people”.

On his first day in office, Trump issued 1,500 “full, complete and unconditional” presidential pardons to people who were involved in the attack, including those who were convicted of violent acts.

SECOND Impeachment Trial of Donald J. Trump. All the facts were laid out at that time.

And the Senate still chose Jury Nullification instead of conviction.

The GOP is still trying to re-write history.
