Republicans Involved in Overturning 2020 Election Call for Investigation into January 6 Committee

Utah Senator Mike Lee and House Speaker Mike Johnson, both implicated in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, are pushing conspiracy theories about the Capitol riot and calling for an investigation into the committee examining the event.

Utah Senator Mike Lee has been accused of spreading conspiracy theories about the January 6 Capitol riot, suggesting that federal agents were responsible for the attack.
Lee was involved in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and has been found to have received campaign donations from three Arizona Republicans who falsely claimed Trump won the 2020 election in that state.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, who was involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has announced plans to release security footage from the January 6 attack, which has been interpreted as supporting conspiracy theories about the event.
Johnson and Lee are among several Republicans calling for an investigation into the House January 6 Committee, despite their own involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Both Johnson and Lee's actions have been criticized by fellow Republicans and commentators, with some calling for a closer look at their communications with former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
