Speaker Mike Johnson said the panel would counter “false narratives” about the Jan. 6, 2021, riot and what led up to it, a sign that the G.O.P. would continue to try to shift blame for the attack.

The House of Representatives will create a Judiciary subcommittee to investigate events before, during and after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot that many have called an "insurrection."

Republicans hope that allies soon to be in charge of the DOJ and FBI will help them dredge up new information.
