House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., rejected two of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s picks for the select committee formed to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, prompting McCarthy to threaten to pull all of his proposed appointees.
Pelosi spoke with McCarthy, R-Calif., on Wednesday morning “about the objections raised” to his decision to appoint Republican Reps. Jim Banks of Indiana and Jim Jordan of Ohio and “the impact their appointments could have on the integrity of the investigation,” she said in a statement.
