House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday said he won’t cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee probing the breach of the U.S. Capitol, accusing the committee of an “abuse of power.”

Hours earlier, the House Select committee asked the California Republican to voluntarily hand over information, including about former President Donald Trump’s mental state during and after the events that unfolded on Jan. 6 last year.
