Pelosi, D-Calif., did not answer a question about McCarthy’s committee picks or whether she will approve Jordan’s appointment while entering a closed-door Democratic caucus meeting on Tuesday.
Jordan reacted to his appointment Monday by sharing a montage of Democratic lawmakers who objected to Trump’s victory in the 2016 election and those who accused him of colluding with Russia.

Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who was one of a small group of Republicans who voted to impeach Trump.

The select committee will convene its first hearing on July 27.
