House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced that Rep. Eric Swalwell has been picked to serve as the top Democrat on the new, Republican-led select subcommittee to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“Against this backdrop, House Democrats are fighting back,” Jeffries said in a press release. “As the proud son of a cop, highly accomplished former prosecutor and skilled legislator experienced in holding powerful Washington politicians accountable, Rep. Swalwell will relentlessly ensure that the American people never forget who was responsible for the events of January 6th.”
Jeffries also announced the addition of Reps. Jared Moskowitz and Jasmine Crockett to the subcommittee, along with Rep. Jamie Raskin as an ex officio member.
