House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday said she plans to appoint additional Republicans, including a staunch Trump critic, to the committee probing the January 6 US Capitol insurrection, amid a fierce partisan showdown over who will serve on the body.

Asked whether she would appoint a new set of Republicans including lawmaker Adam Kinzinger, who voted to impeach former president Donald Trump, Pelosi told ABC “that would be my plan.”

“The two that I would not appoint are people who would jeopardize the integrity of the investigation and there’s no way I would tolerate their antics as we seek the truth,” Pelosi said Sunday. Pelosi’s Democrats had sought to create a bipartisan, independent 9/11-style commission to investigate the Capitol insurrection.
