United States Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming will serve on a newly formed congressional committee that will investigate the so-called “insurrection” at the nation’s capital on January 6, 2021.
House Speaker Mike Johnson appointed Hageman along with four other Republican members and three Democrats late last week.
Representative Hageman defeated Liz Cheney for the lone House seat from Wyoming in the 2022 Republican primary. Cheney had famously voted to impeach President Donald Trump in his first term over her perception of Trump’s role surrounding the mob-like behavior in Washington on that day.
Cheney became one of the most high-profile members of the Democrat-led committee formed by then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The committee voted to convict Trump, recommending several charges to the Department of Justice. A grand jury indicted Trump in 2023, but then charges were dismissed in November after Trump won the presidential election.
The findings of the Democrat-led committee were met with skepticism by many.
The new Republican House voted recently to establish a new committee.
According to the resolution, the new select subcommittee will conduct a full and complete investigation and study and issue a final report of the events surrounding January 6, 2021.
Georgia Republican Representative Barry Loudermilk will serve as the chair of the committee. Maryland Democratic Representative Jayme Raskin, who served on the original committee, will act as an ex officio member of the new panel.
Last year, Hageman co-sponsored a resolution “expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that former President Trump did not engage in insurrection or rebellion against, nor give aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States.”
The committee has until the end of 2026 to submit a final report of its findings.
