'This is no gift': McCarthy faces GOP resistance to serving on January 6 panel

House Republicans don't want to touch the select committee on January 6 with a 10-foot pole.

As Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy mulls whom to tap for a congressional investigation into the deadly US Capitol riot -- and whether to appoint people at all -- Republicans from across the conference are racing to show they have no interest in taking on a politically fraught assignment, particularly lawmakers in difficult reelection races. There's even scant interest among the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump for inciting the deadly insurrection.
