Now Playing(June 23) Seven House Democrats and two Republicans on Tuesday launch what they say will be the fullest investigation yet of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, an inquiry that could drag the issue into next year’s midterm election campaign.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hand-picked all of the members of the new committee, including Republicans Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who was ousted as the House’s No. 3 GOP leader over her criticism of former President Donald Trump, and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois. Four other seats reserved for Republicans are empty, in a stand-off with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy after Pelosi vetoed of two of his appointees.
“For months, lies and conspiracy theories have been spread, threatening our self-governance,” Kinzinger said Sunday as he accepted Pelosi’s offer to serve on the panel. “The American people deserve transparency and truth on how and why thousands showed up to attack our democracy, and ultimately, what led to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.”
McCarthy, speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, called Cheney and Kinzinger “Pelosi Republicans.”
The committee’s first public hearing is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. Washington time and will feature testimony from four of the police officers overrun by the mob of Trump supporters seeking to disrupt certification of the electoral votes from the 2020 presidential election.
