On pardons and January 6, Republicans torn between moving forward and looking back
Washington (CNN)— When reporters asked Mike Johnson to respond to President Donald Trump’s pardons for more than 1,000 people charged in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, the House speaker had a ready answer.
“We’re not looking backwards. We’re looking forward,” he said Wednesday morning.
Barely three hours later, Johnson announced the creation of a new select subcommittee to continue the GOP’s probe into January 6, because “there is more work to be done.” He also said Republicans would investigate pardons handed out by President Joe Biden on his way out the door.
