US House Speaker Pelosi names Republican Kinzinger to Jan. 6 panel

WASHINGTON - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday formally named Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger to serve on a select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump.

Kinzinger, Pelosi said in a statement, "brings great patriotism to the committee’s mission: to find the facts and protect our democracy." It was unclear whether she would name additional Republicans. Earlier in the day, Pelosi was interviewed on ABC's "This Week" and said that other Republicans also had expressed interest in working on the panel.
