Good Subscriber Account active since House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday said House Republicans will conduct their own investigation into January 6 after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of his recommendations for the House select committee to investigation the Capitol insurrection. In response to Pelosi’s announcement that she would not accept GOP Reps. Jim Banks and Jim Jordan as members of the committee, McCarthy said none of the five Republicans he recommended would participate unless the House Speaker reversed course. Pelosi said she was willing to accept McCarthy’s other three picks for the committee, and had requested the House GOP leader recommend alternatives to Banks and Jordan. McCarthy evidently rejected this approach. “We will run our own investigation,” McCarthy said during a news conference. It’s unclear precisely what this will mean, though McCarthy emphasized that Republicans want to look into law enforcement failures on the day of the insurrection.
