House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says Republicans will probe the work of the House select committee that has been investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, after the GOP takes control of the chamber next year.
sent Wednesday to Rep. Bennie G. Thompson , the chairman of the bipartisan panel, McCarthy instructed the committee’s members to preserve all of its records and testimony transcripts, even as he acknowledged that was already required under House rules.
McCarthy’s letter echoes the desire of many other Republican lawmakers to aggressively go after the Jan. 6 committee, which they have long criticized as a purely political vehicle to attack former president Donald Trump. Rep. Jim Jordan — the likely next chairman of the House Judiciary Committee — and his staff areany evidence omitted from the final report that is more flattering or at least exculpatory about Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan.
McCarthy has been at odds with the committee since its inception, pulling all GOP nominees for it after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi . The panel still was a bipartisan one — with Reps. Cheney and Adam Kinzinger — but McCarthy has repeatedly decried the committee as purely political.
