House committee probing Capitol riot wants to hear from Kevin McCarthy

Kevin McCarthy
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California speaks at the Capitol on July 21, 2021.
  • House lawmakers want to know what President Donald Trump told Kevin McCarthy.
  • The committee investigating the Capitol riot has now asked for McCarthy's cooperation.
  • This is a breaking news story. Please stay tuned for updates.

The House Select Committee on the January 6 riot on Wednesday asked House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to voluntarily cooperate with its investigation, a sign that the probe is increasingly touching some of the most powerful figures in the Republican Party.

"You have acknowledged speaking directly with the former President while the violence was underway on January 6th. And you summarized your conclusions regarding President Trump's conduct on January 6th in a speech you made January 13th on the House floor," the committee wrote in a letter to McCarthy.

McCarthy said on the House floor just days after the riot that Trump "b[ore] responsibility" for the attack on the Capitol. He also briefly suggested that Trump should be censured for his actions before Democrats moved to impeach the president for a second time. 

It's not entirely clear what Trump told McCarthy as rioters were ransacking the Capitol. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, one of the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, cited what McCarthy told her about the call. CNN reported that Trump told McCarthy, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are."

In the year since January 6, McCarthy has criticized Democrats for focusing too much on the attack. He has also defended his efforts to overturn election results in Pennslyvania and Arizona, arguing to The New York Times that not certifying results from either state wouldn't have changed President Biden's victory. In the same story, the Times reported that McCarthy's allies say his support of Trump is rooted in his belief that the GOP needs him to help retake the House and thus to fulfill McCarthy's long-held ambition to become speaker.

McCarthy has also undermined efforts to investigate the insurrection. 

The California Republican reportedly asked Rep. John Katko of New York to negotiate on his behalf for a bipartisan commission modeled after the widely-praised panel that investigated September 11. But McCarthy later came out against a commission, citing its "limited scope" as some Republicans pushed for unrest during the summer of 2020 to be included alongside any investigation of the insurrection. The House still passed the legislation creating the commission with large bipartisan support before it failed to gain the necessary support in the Senate.

Before the commission proposal died, McCarthy told reporters that he would cooperate with the panel. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moved to create a House select committee after the Senate failed to pass the bill. McCarthy later named a slate of Republican lawmakers to the panel, but Pelosi took the unprecedented step of rejecting two of his selections due to the lawmakers' support of efforts to reject the certification of state election results. 

McCarthy then withdrew his entire slate from the panel. He has since threatened telecommunications companies if they comply with the House select committee's subpoenas. Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, another Republican the panel wants to hear from, has said he will not cooperate with their request. It is unclear whether House lawmakers have the legal authority to subpoena their colleagues in order to compel their cooperation.
