The House's select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot announced Wednesday it will hold its first hearing July 27 with law enforcement officers to examine the deadly rampage.
Why it matters: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has yet to appoint any Republican members to the select committee, though former GOP Conference Chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) was hand-picked by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to serve.
- House Democrat-led select committee was formed after Republicans blocked a bill that would have established a bipartisan 9/11-style commission to probe the riot.
