House Republicans Create Cmte to Go After Agencies That Are Investigating Trump
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the U.S., the Republican-majority House on Tuesday approved the
creation of the "Weaponization of the Federal Government" select
subcommittee to investigate what they say is the targeting of
conservatives, and includes probing government investigations into
former President Trump and the January 6 Capitol attack. Democrats and
ethics groups condemned the committee, which will be led by far-right
Congressmember Jim Jordan, with some dubbing it the "Insurrection
Protection Committee."
