Overview

  • The House authorized the panel through a procedural rule that passed 212-208 along party lines, with Rep. Kevin Kiley voting present.
  • The eight-member subcommittee will include five Speaker-appointed Republicans and three nominees from Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries subject to the Speaker’s approval.
  • Chair Barry Loudermilk will wield full subpoena authority under the Judiciary Committee’s umbrella, which confers broad investigative scope.
  • The move followed months of delay after a January announcement, with jurisdiction disputes resolved after Loudermilk secured support from Trump, according to The Hill.
  • Republicans frame the effort as a fresh review of Jan. 6, while Democrats highlight the 2022 committee’s finding that Trump was the central cause and its unanimous criminal referrals.
