House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (CA)
Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA)
Rep. Stephanie Murphy (FL)
Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD)

Cheney was one of two Republicans to vote to establish the select committee. The other Republican was Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL).
Pelosi will appoint an additional five members after consultation with Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), for a total of 13.
A statement from Pelosi’s office said the committee will “investigate and report upon the facts and causes of the terrorist mob attack on the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021. It will also be charged with reporting its findings, conclusions and recommendations for preventing future attacks.”
