Pelosi says other Republicans "expressed their interest" in January 6 select committee

Washington — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that some Republican lawmakers have "expressed their interest" in serving on the select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy threatened to pull his picks from the panel.

Pelosi has not said whether she would appoint other GOP lawmakers to the January 6 select committee but, when asked whether she would make the call on adding more members to the panel, said Democratic leadership and the lawmakers tapped for it work together. While the California Democrat would not reveal who may be under consideration to join the select committee, she said "some of them have expressed their interest."
