(CNN) John Wood, a senior investigator for the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, is leaving his position this week, which is earlier than expected, according to a source familiar. Wood previously worked for former US Sen. Jack Danforth, a Republican from Missouri. Wood is the senior investigative counsel on the committee, as well as counsel to Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican. Wood helped lead questioning in a committee hearing last week that focused on former President Donald Trump's pressure campaign on former Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Wood had a high-profile moment interviewing Judge Michael Luttig, who he previously clerked for, at the hearing.
