House Republicans question former news executive's work for Jan. 6 committee

A group of House Republicans questioned Wednesday whether the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol violated rules when it hired a former news executive.

The five representatives wrote in a letter to the committee's Democratic leadership that they are seeking confirmation that former ABC News president James Goldston is working for the committee. Axios first reported Monday that Goldston is an "unannounced advisor" to the committee, which is holding the first of at least six public hearings in a rare prime-time session Thursday.
