House GOP Leader Seeks Congressional Repudiation Of J6 Committee ‘Findings’
A House Republican committee chairman is set to ask Congress to officially disavow the so-called "findings" of House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked January 6 Committee, due to evidence uncovered over the past two years proving those findings to be incorrect.
The investigations led by Just the News and the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee, chaired by Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), “have whipsawed the original, official narrative of what transpired during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots,” reported the outlet on Friday.
The initial claims made by the now-disbanded committee and its witnesses, which have since been discredited, include:
— Trump did not attempt to seize the wheel of the presidential limo, driven by a Secret Service agent, to force his way to the Capitol during the riots.
— Pelosi acknowledged being primarily responsible for the security failures that occurred on January 6, not Trump, including the lack of pre-deployed National Guard troops.
— Trump indeed ordered military officials to ensure the Capitol was secure, but military and political leaders chose not to follow through.
"My intention is to bring to the House floor a resolution that lays out all the evidence that we found that contradicts the evidence that they supposedly or the narrative they put in their report because future generations need to know, do not use this document that the select committee produced as any reflection of a historical record," Loudermilk said on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show on Thursday night.
Currently, there is no established process within Congress to retract an official report from a previous session formally. Thus, Loudermilk's team is drafting legislation to prompt current members of Congress to repudiate and reject the findings of the earlier committee, as reported by the outlet.
The resolution specifically targets the findings and assertions of the Thompson-Cheney report—widely embraced by mainstream media—that have since been proven false or misleading. It aims to provide concrete evidence for a more accurate representation of events leading up to and during the Capitol breach on January 6, as well as its aftermath.
Loudermilk stressed that the goal is to ensure that future generations understand that the Democratic-led January 6 committee constructed a politically driven narrative filled with inaccuracies and insinuations, rather than delivering an unbiased account of events, according to Just the News.
"It’s a narrative," he stated. "It’s more fiction than fact, and we can show that through the evidence that we’ve uncovered."
One of the recent findings highlighted by Loudermilk involved Trump explicitly ordering senior military and civilian Pentagon leaders to "do whatever it takes" to secure the U.S. Capitol Building three days before the riot. However, those leaders disregarded his order.
"There is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period," acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller told the Defense Department inspector general in a March 2021 interview, underscoring the defiance of Trump’s directive.
"The transcripts undercut the Democrat conclusion that Trump meant for violence to occur at the Capitol while affirming the former president’s long-held claim he authorized up to 10,000 troops to be deployed in advance to protect the Capitol and capital city," Just the News reported.
Following these latest findings regarding his order to protect the Capitol, Trump expressed his vindication in a social media post.
"The Deep State chose to disregard my direct authorization of at least 10,000 National Guard Troops to ensure that Washington, D.C., was safe and secure on January 6, 2021," he wrote on Truth Social. "These Deep State subversives disobeyed the President’s directives, which would have prevented any unrest that day—January 6th, as it is known, would never have taken place."
