McCarthy says he will not cooperate with January 6 committee probe

(CNN) - House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he will not cooperate with a request from the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot, hours after the panel asked the California Republican to voluntarily provide information, including details about former President Donald Trump's state of mind during the Capitol attack and in the weeks after.

"As a representative and the leader of the minority party, it is with neither regret nor satisfaction that I have concluded to not participate with this select committee's abuse of power that stains this institution today and will harm it going forward," McCarthy said in a statement Wednesday night.

The Republican leader charged that the committee "is not conducting a legitimate investigation," citing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rejection of some of his picks to serve on the panel, and claimed that it "is not serving any legislative purpose."

The committee's request to McCarthy, detailed in a new letter released Wednesday, marks a significant moment in the ongoing investigation as the panel is now seeking cooperation from the top Republican in the House.
