House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Thursday said the Jan. 6 committee will continue to seek the truth about the cause of the deadly Capitol attack despite GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy pulling all his Republican members from serving on the panel. McCarthy responded by boycotting the committee and not allowing his three Pelosi-approved picks from serving on the panel. PELOSI BANS GOP REPS. JIM JORDAN, JIM BANKS FROM SERVING ON JAN. 6 COMMITTEE, MCCARTHY THREATENS TOTAL BOYCOTT"This is a sham committee that's just politically driven by Speaker Pelosi," said McCarthy, who called Pelosi's decision to block his select committee picks unprecedented. Jordan, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, called the Jan. 6 committee "Impeachment Round 3." Banks, the head of the influential Republican Study Committee and a naval officer who served in Afghanistan, accused Pelosi of creating the committee "solely to malign conservatives."
