Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan has called for an investigation into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and members of the once-Democrat-led January 6 Commission that investigated the events at the U.S. Capitol in 2021.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While briefly speaking to CNN reporter Manu Raju,\u00a0Jordan wasted little time saying the investigation was nothing more than a witch hunt aimed at going after then-candidate Donald Trump. He also said the Commission should investigate Pelosi and what she knows about what happened on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n
Below is a transcript of the exchange:<\/p>\n
RAJU: \u201cMr. Jordan, what do you hope to accomplish on the Republican side of this investigation?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n JORDAN: \u201cYou know what this is about. This is about going after President Trump, you know. I mean, the Democrats, they don\u2019t want to talk about anything else so they got to talk about this. They don\u2019t want to talk about the crime that\u2019s going on in every major urban area. They don\u2019t want to talk about the crisis at the border. They don\u2019t want to talk about the price \u2014 the fact that the price of everything has gone up, the price of eggs has went up, the price of milk has went up, the price of lumber has went up, the price of airline tickets is up, the price of used cars \u2014 everything has gone up. They don\u2019t want to talk about all that so they\u2019ve got to talk about how we\u2019re going to go after President Trump for a third time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/ins><\/div>\n GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia revealed that House Speaker Mike Johnson promised him that his investigation into the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol will be \u201cformalized as a new committee.\u201d<\/p>\n This is part of a larger plan by Republicans to keep going with several investigations they started in the last Congress, now that they control both houses of Congress and the White House.<\/p>\n
