Rep. Barry Loudermilk hopeful on direction of J6 investigation under new administration

Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) hopes to have “friendlier” communications with federal agencies like the Department of Justice as he continues investigating the original January 6 Select Committee. “It’s still a broad scope of work that we have to do because ultimately we want to clean up the corruption, we want to root out the bad players, we want to depoliticize these decisions regarding security especially on Capitol Hill, and we want to make sure that whistleblowers have the protection,” he says. “And we even have an issue here in Capitol Police where we have an inspector general that’s not truly independent because they’re actually hired and fired by the people that they’re inspecting. So there is a whole plethora of work that we still have to do.”
