"House Republicans have voted to establish a new subcommittee to reinvestigate the January 6 attack, a move that comes as Donald Trump has tried to rewrite the history of the most violent incident in US Capitol history.
Language to set up the Republican-led subcommittee was folded into a larger rule that passed along party lines. The new subcommittee follows Republican claims that the previous Democratic-led committee was biased against Trump.
...In 2022, the initial January 6 subcommittee released an 845-page report on the attack, concluding that based on false allegations that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen, Trump summoned tens of thousands of supporters to the capital on January 6. The report also found that Trump refused repeated requests over several hours that he instruct his violent supporters to disperse and leave Capitol Hill."

This begs an obvious question: why aren't they investigating the actual alleged theft of the 2020 election?
