House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday formally named Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger to serve on a select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
Kinzinger, Pelosi said in a statement, “brings great patriotism to the committee’s mission: to find the facts and protect our democracy.”
In response, Kinzinger said he “humbly accepted” Pelosi’s invitation to join the committee.
“This moment requires a serious, clear-eyed, non-partisan approach,” Kinzinger said in a statement posted to his Twitter account. “We are duty-bound to conduct a full investigation on the worst attack on the Capitol since 1814 and to make sure it can never happen again.”
