Jeffries Names Swalwell as Top Democrat on GOP-Led Jan. 6 Subcommittee

Speaker Mike Johnson’s approval will determine whether Democrats’ picks are seated.

Overview

  • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries also selected Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Jared Moskowitz, with House Judiciary ranking member Jamie Raskin serving as an ex officio member.
  • The eight-member panel operates under the House Judiciary Committee and is expected to be chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk.
  • The newly authorized subcommittee has subpoena power and a mandate to conduct a full reinvestigation of the Jan. 6 attack.
  • Republicans say the inquiry will focus on Capitol security failures and may challenge conclusions reached by the original select committee.
  • Democrats say they will participate to prevent a partisan whitewash, and the panel is directed to report its findings by the end of 2026.
