Pelosi says Jan. 6 committee will proceed despite GOP 'antics'
Fox News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Thursday said the Jan. 6 committee will continue to seek the truth about the cause of the deadly Capitol attack despite GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy pulling all his Republican members from serving on the panel.
Pelosi on Wednesday blocked two of McCarthy's five appointments from serving on the committee – Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Jim Banks, R-Ind., – citing their statements that she said dismissed the seriousness of the attack and undermined the integrity of the committee's work. McCarthy responded by boycotting the committee and not allowing his three Pelosi-approved picks from serving on the panel. Pelosi stood by her decision to block Jordan and Banks, saying they "made statements and took actions that just made it ridiculous to put them on such a committee seeking the truth."More Related News
