Summary
In a statement, Banks accused the House speaker of “creating this committee to malign conservatives” and Jordan compared the probe to “impeachment three”.Trump was twice impeached by the House and acquitted by the Senate both times.Pelosi’s decision is certain to further inflame tension between the two parties over the insurrection and the House committee that almost all Republicans opposed.Most in the Republican Party have remained loyal to Trump despite the violent insurrection of his supporters.McCarthy would not say for weeks whether Republicans would even participate in the probe, but on Monday, he sent the five names to Pelosi.Pelosi said in the statement that she had accepted McCarthy’s three other picks: Representatives Rodney Davis of Illinois, Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota and Troy Nehls of Texas.
