House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced during an appearance on Fox News that if Republicans take back the majority in 2022, the GOP will use its power to look into the missteps of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her appointees ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, “Stop the Steal” rally.
In July 2021, the Democrat-controlled House authorized the creation of the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol in a mostly party-line vote. The committee, which many have accused of being overtly partisan, includes only two Republicans—Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.)—among its nine members.
