Democrats name four in the House to new Jan. 6 subcommittee - UPI.com

Sept. 9 (UPI) -- House Democrats named four new members to the new subcommittee to reinvestigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The eight-member committee will do a Republican-led investigation into the events of Jan. 6, when a mob of protestors attacked the U.S. Capitol in support of President Donald Trump. It will likely look at security failures on that day.

House Democratic Minority Leader Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., announced Monday that Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.; Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.; and Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas; will participate in the committee. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., will be an ex officio member.

"Instead of lowering costs for everyday Americans, House Republicans are once again trying to rewrite history and corrupt our electoral system," Jeffries said in a statement. "House Democrats will continue to forcefully and aggressively push back, as we did with [President] Donald Trump's second impeachment and the work done by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol."
