Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced the Democrats and sole Republican, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who she’s chosen to serve on the select committee investigating the Capitol insurrection, with Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) serving as the committee’s chairman, the Washington Post reports.
Pelosi’s other picks: Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA), Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA).
Pelosi said that she hopes Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) doesn’t slow walk appointing Republicans to the committee. But if he does or refuses to seat members, Pelosi hints she won’t wait to get started.
Liz Cheney: “I’m honored to serve on the January 6th select committee. Our oath to the Constitution must be above partisan politics.“
