House GOP Mulls Committee Shakeup Before Hearings

Washington Post: “Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee and a veteran combatant in highly charged Capitol Hill investigations, has taken the leading role in closed-door depositions of key witnesses in the impeachment inquiry. But he is not a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which Democrats last week voted to give the sole power to conduct public hearings.”

“According to three Republicans familiar with the talks but not authorized to comment publicly, McCarthy (R-CA) is considering placing Jordan on the panel, as well as others — such as Reps. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Lee Zeldin (R-NY), who have been involved in the depositions but do not sit on the Intelligence Committee.”
