Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday signaled that she plans to appoint GOP Rep Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) to the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, saying “you could say that’s the direction I would be going.”
Pelosi told ABC’s “This Week” that she would not be making an announcement Sunday and that she needed to speak with Kinzinger, who has been outspoken in his criticism of former President Donald Trump.
But she also said “that would be my plan” when she was asked by host George Stephanopoulos about appointing more Republicans to the panel.
“Perhaps after I speak to Adam Kinzinger,” Pelosi said.
“I’m not about to announce it right this minute, but you could say that that is the direction that I would be going on,” Pelosi continued.
She said Kinzinger and other Republicans have “expressed an interest” to sit on the select committee.
Pelosi has already appointed Rep. Liz Cheney (R-W.) to the panel.
