Kevin McCarthy, Fox News Digital has learned. McCarthy, R-Calif.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., were tasked by McCarthy with leading the impeachment inquiry.

'The committee is continuing to review documents, records, and communications and will take further action in the coming days,' the Oversight spokesperson said.
