McCarthy taps five Republicans to serve on January 6 Select Committee
CBSN
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Monday tapped five Republicans to serve on the select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol, multiple people familiar with the decision told CBS News.
McCarthy chose Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana to serve as the ranking member, with Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio, Rodney Davis of Illinois, Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota and freshman Troy Nehls of Texas filling the remaining four GOP-controlled seats on the committee. The decision came more than two weeks after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had named seven Democrats and Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney to the committee. When Democrats scheduled the committee's first hearing for next week, McCarthy appeared to be running out of time.More Related News
