Around this time two years ago, as the Republican majority in the House got to work, among the earliest priorities for the party was a new, GOP-friendly investigation into the Jan. 6 attack. The endeavor would be led by Loudermilk, who faced some awkward questions about a controversial Capitol tour the day before the riot.
