This investigation will concentrate on Jan. 6, the subcommittee that oversees oversight in the House Administration Committee, and security issues leading up to the Capitol attack.

“I’m spending some time over there getting my hands wrapped around what we have. We’re going to be looking at what happened in the Capitol. What happened leading up to it? How did we have such a security failure?” CNN interviewed Loudermilk. “The Jan. 6 committee, they didn’t take that approach. That should have been something that they looked at. I think they looked more on the political side of it.”

He noted that his efforts are only beginning. “in the infancy stage.” He said that the Georgia Republican intends to keep his efforts going by increasing his staff and holding hearings.

McCarthy had previously avoided speaking publicly about the Capitol Attack, but he changed his mind after promising to the right side of his conference that he would revail.
