Speaker Mike Johnson announced on Wednesday that House Republicans would establish a new select subcommittee to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and counter “false narratives” about it, continuing the party’s efforts to rewrite the history of the riot.
Mr. Johnson’s announcement came just two days after President Trump pardoned those charged in connection with the assault. It suggested that Republicans planned to use their power over the government to continue promoting their own sanitized version of what had happened when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol, disrupting the certification of the 2020 election.
