'At every opportunity, the minority leader has attempted to prevent the American people from understanding what happened—to block this investigation,' Cheney said.

It is unclear, for now, whether Pelosi will try and appoint other members to the panel, as she has the authority to do under committee rules. She left open the possibility, saying that there are other members who would like to participate."We'll see." Most in the GOP have remained loyal to Trump despite the violent insurrection of his supporters that sent many lawmakers running for their lives. McCarthy wouldn't say for weeks whether Republicans would even participate in the probe, but he sent the five names to Pelosi on Monday.

"Make no mistake, Nancy Pelosi created this committee solely to malign conservatives and to justify the Left's authoritarian agenda," Banks said. The panel is also considering hiring former Rep. Denver Riggleman of Virginia, a Republican who has criticized Trump's lies about election fraud, as an outside adviser, according to a person familiar with the committee's work who was granted anonymity to discuss the private talks.

Pelosi mulls adding more anti-Trump Republicans to Jan. 6 investigationSpeaker Nancy Pelosi is considering adding another anti-Trump House Republican to the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, with Rep. Adam Kinzinger as the leading contender 'anti-trump' how about labeling them 'sane, pro democracy' republicans. Trying to figure out who is Politico? Seems to not be very newsy; more agenda driven. Also their cookie approach is annoying. SpeakerPelosi should have appointed RepKinzinger when she appointed RepLizCheney!! Speaker Pelosi rectify the oversight -- TODAY!! Since GOPLeader will undoubtably be called to testify, ethically he should recuse himself from appointing any Committee members at all!!
