House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy responded by saying he's pulling all five of his picks for the committee.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday rejected two of Republican leaders’ picks for a newly created committee to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, suggesting they’ve made false statements and taken concerning actions that make them less credible participants in the probe. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) responded by saying he would pull all five of his picks for the committee. Pelosi said she is rejecting Reps. Jim Banks (Ind.) and Jim Jordan (Ohio). The two lawmakers were among those who voted to overturn the presidential election based on a lie about voter fraud that fueled the deadly attack on Jan. 6.
