The Subcommittee on Oversight isinvestigating the security failures of January 6th which House Democratsfailed to investigate in the 117th Congress. We are focused on identifying and reviewing the numeroussecurity failures on and leading up to, January 6, 2021, and reviewing the creation, operation, and claims made by Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Select Committee to investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) released his January 6 Initial Findings Report on Monday, March 11. Rep. Loudermilk is the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman. Chairman Loudermilk added this on today’s report: “For nearly two years former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Select Committee promoted hearsay and cherry-picked information to promote its political goal – to legislatively prosecute former President Donald Trump,” said Chairman Loudermilk. “It was no surprise that the Select Committee’s final report focused primarily on former President Trump and his supporters, not the security failures and reforms needed to ensure the United States Capitol is...

Republican congressional investigators have opened an inquiry into the extent of “collusion” between the Democrat-run House Jan. 6 committee and the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis during her prosecution of Donald Trump. In a status report released Monday, the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee chaired by Rep. Barry. Loudermilk, R-Ga., said that it located a letter in which Willis in 2021 asked for the House Democrats to send her any evidence that would further her prosecution of Trump. The committee said it was concerned that the Democrat-run investigation led by Reps. Benny Thompson and Liz Cheney may have shared evidence...

A House committee investigating the special Jan. 6 committee released a sweeping report Monday that Republicans say demonstrates that four other White House employees did not corroborate key witness Cassidy Hutchinson’s dramatic account of former President Donald Trump's actions that day. “None of the White House Employees corroborated Hutchinson’s sensational story about President Trump lunging for the steering wheel of the Beast. However, some witnesses did describe the President’s mood after the speech at the Ellipse,” says the 81-page report by the House Administration Committee’s oversight subcommittee, led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., a section of which was obtained by...

House Republicans on Monday released a report that blew up Liz Cheney’s J6 ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony on Trump’s actions on January 6.“None of the White House Employees corroborated Hutchinson’s sensational story about President Trump lunging for the steering wheel of the Beast. However, some witnesses did describe the President’s mood after the speech at the Ellipse,” the report read.The driver of Trump’s motorcade (the beast) refuted Cassidy Hutchinson’s under-oath claims that Trump grabbed the steering wheel and physically assaulted a Secret Service agent.“The driver testified that he specifically refuted the version of events as recounted by Hutchinson. The...

Back on February 8, GOP Congressional Candidate and J6 defendant Derrick Evans released exclusive footage of a January 6 protester firing off a gun from the scaffolding that day. Evans posted the video at J6Footage.org. The Gateway Pundit then reposted the video at our website with permission (The video had only 124 views when we first posted the clip.) ..... Snip..... On Friday, exactly one month after video was released of the J6 protester firing off his gun on the scaffolding, the DOJ announced that they arrested the man — over three years after the January 6th! That raises several...

Legal experts surmise higherups within the Justice Department directed U.S. Marshals to move them to the facility notoriously hostile to J6ers in a bid to stop them from continuing to expose the government’s bogus narrative surrounding the “conspired” J6 “insurrection” and may have even been an attempt to take or threaten Samsel’s life.

New CCTV video was posted earlier on Tuesday that shows Kamala Harris exiting the US Capitol at 11:21 AM on January 6, 2021. The DOJ later lied and later filed indictments for a year against Trump supporters claiming Kamala Harris was still in the building later that day. The video was released today by Free State Will. Newly released Capitol CCTV shows Sen. Kamala Harris exiting the Capitol at 11:21 a.m. on January 6. The government filed indictments in January 6 cases for almost a year falsely claiming that Harris was still in the Capitol building. Source: https://t.co/BgD6aebHad pic.twitter.com/FlkH9HG26x —...

The pace of FBI arrests and the opening of new Jan. 6 criminal cases quickened so much in late 2023 and early 2024 that District of Columbia federal courts could bend under the weight. In the past two months, 93 people have been arrested and charged, according to Department of Justice (DOJ) reports. At the current rate, some 445 new cases could hit the docket in 2024—more than in 2022 and 2023, according to one estimate. In total, up to March 6, at least 1,358 people have been arrested by the FBI and criminally charged by the Department of Justice...

We've got a courtroom curveball coming your way. A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., just made a ruling that might have ripple effects on over a hundred January 6 cases related to the Capitol attack in 2021. The three-judge panel took a close look at a lower court's decision to enhance a defendant's sentence due to "substantial interference with the administration of justice" during the Capitol attack. The catch? The appeals court deemed that the term "administration of justice" doesn't cover Congress's role in the electoral certification process. Translation: the enhanced sentences might not be on solid legal ground....

As part of its undeclared role as a mouthpiece for President Biden and his administration, NBC News is trying to whitewash the FBI’s arrest of a Blaze Media reporter for covering the Jan. 6, 2021, demonstrations at the U.S. Capitol. After the FBI informed him early last week of its warrant for his arrest, Blaze investigative reporter Steve Baker surrendered himself to federal authorities in Dallas, Texas, on Friday, and was charged on four counts related to his coverage of the Jan. 6 riot. As The Federalist previously reported, Baker has been at the forefront of counter-narrative reporting on the...

People swept up in the Department of Justice’s January 6 dragnet have been getting extraordinarily harsh sentences. While daily headlines are filled with stories of repeat offenders walking away with slaps on the wrist following brutal crimes, the January 6 defendants, almost every one of whom had no previous criminal record (that I’m aware of), were being sent away for years simply for having stepped onto Capitol grounds. These were insane sentences compared to what happened to violent and destructive Antifa and BLM protestors. Now, though, a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a unanimous decision, held that the prosecutors...

DC_Draino @DC_Draino 🚨BREAKING: Speaker Johnson announces release of 5,000 hours of J6 CCTV footage He says this is the 1st wave of many that will come over the next few weeks & months He has also ordered that no faces be blurred (which would’ve hid Fed informants/agents) Time for J6 truth!

Baze News investigative journalist Steve Baker was forced to turn himself in to the FBI field office in Dallas Friday morning over misdemeanor charges related to his January 6 reporting. The reporter was taken into custody, placed in handcuffs and leg irons, and perp-walked to the car that transported him to the Dallas courthouse for a 10:00 am hearing before the magistrate. He was charged with “entering restricted grounds,” “disorderly conduct,” and “parading and picketing in the Capitol.” X - @BreannaMorello - Journalist Steve Baker ( @TPC4USA ) has just arrived at the FBI field office in Dallas and has...

WASHINGTON — The Committee on House Administration today released 5,000 additional hours of U.S. Capitol security footage from January 6, 2021. Following the release, Speaker Johnson and House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk released the following statements and provided an update on the balance of the January 6 footage. Previously released blurred footage will be reuploaded without blurring. Media organizations, non-profits, criminal defendants, and every U.S. citizens will have the ability to view each minute of the 40,000+ hours of footage in person.

A D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel issued a ruling Friday that could impact scores of prison terms handed down to rioters convicted and sentenced for joining the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol. The three-judge panel ruled that defendants convicted of obstructing the congressional certification had received improper enhancements of their sentences from district court judges who determined their actions amounted to "substantial interference with the 'administration of justice.'" The challenge to the enhancement was brought in the case of convicted rioter Larry Brock, who was sentenced in 2023 to two years in prison for his felony...

A federal appeals court on Friday ruled that an enhancement charge used against Jan. 6 defendants to lengthen their sentences couldn’t apply to the Capitol protest. In a unanimous opinion from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Patricia Millett, an Obama appointee, said prosecutors’ use of a “substantial interference with the administration of justice” charge to enhance the prison sentence of Larry Brock was too broad. “We hold that the ‘administration of justice’ enhancement does not apply to interference with the legislative process of certifying electoral votes,” wrote Judge Millett.... The ruling could affect other Jan. 6 defendants who...

Nearly three years after the January 6, 2021 fedsurrection, Blaze reporter Steve Baker reported in December that he will be charged for his actions that day reporting live on the event. Steve wrote in October 2023 that he was under investigation for the past two years by Chris Wray’s FBI for reporting at the historic protests in Washington DC. Steve Baker detailed his experiences that day in an earlier report. Then, in February 2021, he began questioning the role others may have played in the protests and rioting that day. This was clearly off limits. ..... Snip..... Steve Baker announced...

Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker said the FBI wants him to self-surrender to the agency Friday morning in Dallas over his January 6 reporting. What are the details? Baker told Blaze News he's been instructed to turn himself in at the agency's field office at 7 a.m. wearing "shorts and sandals" — which he said signals that the plan likely is to go for "humiliation" and place him in an orange jumpsuit, handcuff him, and do the "prisoner transport routine." He added that after he's taken to the Dallas courthouse, he'll appear at a 10 a.m. hearing before a...
