Supporters of Trump stormed the seat of the US Congress in Washington on January 6, killing five people. Now a bipartisan body is to clarify the background.
After disputes over the committee in the US House of Representatives to investigate the January 6 attack on the Capitol, the Republican minority leader in the House of Representatives has nominated his candidates for the body.
Kevin McCarthy announced the names of five Republicans – all of whom are believed to be supporters of former Republican President Donald Trump. Among them is Congressman Jim Jordan, who is one of the most ardent Trump supporters. Also on the list are Jim Banks, Rodney Davis, Kelly Armstrong and Troy Nehls.
The Democratic Chairwoman of the Chamber of Congress, Nancy Pelosi, has yet to approve the MPs. Previously, the committee had repeatedly caused heated arguments between Democrats and Republicans. Pelosi recently announced that it would appoint Republican Liz Cheney to the body in addition to seven MPs from her party. Cheney is a proven critic of Trump and was voted out of a leadership position in her parliamentary group in mid-May under pressure.
McCarthy was “shocked” by Pelosi’s decision at the time. He had left open whether any members of his parliamentary group other than Cheney would be involved in the committee that had been set up. The fact that McCarthy has now nominated members of his party indicates that the Republicans want to get involved in the committee. The first hearing is scheduled for the coming week. Among other things, members of the Capitol Police Department and police officers of the capital Washington are to be heard.
The committee is to investigate the background to the attack on the Capitol. Supporters of Trump stormed the seat of the US Congress in Washington on January 6th. Five people were killed, including a police officer. Trump had to face impeachment proceedings for the attack because he had previously incited his supporters in a speech. However, at the end of the trial, the Republican was acquitted.
