Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans are at odds over January 6 investigation

CNN  

CNN — Republicans are at a standstill over their investigation relitigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, with House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republican leading the effort disagreeing on how to move forward. Johnson wants Republicans to stop investigating the former January 6 committee, including former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, and narrow its focus, according to three sources familiar with the negotiations. Many Republican lawmakers would like to move on, but can’t because Trump himself isn’t done with the past and continues to make former January 6 committee members a top target. GOP Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia, who has referred to rioters who stormed the Capitol as “peaceful grandmothers,” said of Loudermilk’s investigation: “I hope it’s not stalled.” Meanwhile, GOP Rep. Juan Ciscomani of Arizona, who represents a swing district, told CNN he wasn’t aware that his colleagues were continuing to investigate January 6, indicating that this is not a top priority across the conference.
