House Republicans Launch Investigation into Jan. 6 Select Committee and Capitol Security Failures

House Republicans have announced plans to investigate the select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, with the Justice Department arguing that defendants should not be allowed to delay their criminal trials. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has suggested the committee was politically biased and is looking into Capitol security and the legal treatment of the defendants. The outcome of the investigation is unknown and it is unclear how it will affect the Jan. 6 defendants.
