Lofgren Slams House GOP Attempt to Distort January 6th Attacks

September 3, 2025
WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (CA-18), a former member of the January 6th Select Committee, released the following statement after House Republicans voted to establish a new select subcommittee to reinvestigate the January 6th attacks on the United States Capitol:
"Back when I was a member of the bipartisan J6 Committee, only a handful of House Republicans seemed to have any interest in uncovering the facts of the January 6th attack or seeking accountability for those who incited the insurrection," Rep. Lofgren said. "Now, many of those same Republicans seem very eager to establish this new select subcommittee. What that tells me is that this subcommittee is not going to be seeking answers, but they will be seeking political retribution and downplaying the events of that terrible day."

"Speaker Johnson won't even hang a plaque in the Capitol to honor our law enforcement officers who saved our lives and our democracy. Suddenly he's taking an interest in January 6th? I'm not buying it, and I will push back on anybody who tries to distort the facts of the J6 insurrection," Rep. Lofgren said.
H. Res. 605 was adopted 212-208 on a party line vote. Congresswoman Lofgren also published this video response.
