It is not serving any legislative purpose. The committee\u2019s only objective is to attempt to damage its political opponents \u2013 acting like the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee one day and the DOJ the next.<\/p>\n<p>The committee has demanded testimony from staffers who applied for First Amendment permits. It has subpoenaed the call records of private citizens and their financial records from banks while demanding secrecy not supported by law. It has lied about the contents of documents it has received. It has held individuals in contempt of Congress for exercising their Constitutional right to avail themselves of judicial proceedings. And now it wants to interview me about public statements that have been shared with the world, and private conversations not remotely related to the violence that unfolded at the Capitol. I have nothing else to add.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s abuse of power that stains this institution today and will harm it going forward.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McCarthy received a letter Wednesday from the select committee requesting he answer questions about his communications with Donald Trump in relation to the events of January 6.<\/p>\n<p>If the Democrats subpoena McCarthy to testify in front of the committee, it would be unprecedented and an \u201cunheard of breach of etiquette by party leaders,\u201d although within House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s (D-CA) authority, Punchbowl News <a href=\"https:\/\/email.punchbowl.news\/t\/ViewEmail\/t\/A5E9ED1585E321072540EF23F30FEDED\/285B195D379BF34946778398EADC2510?alternativeLink=False\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s fair to say&nbsp;that the Jan. 6 insurrection was an unprecedented event warranting an unprecedented response. Yet a subpoena for McCarthy could backfire on Democrats down the road,\u201d the publication wrote. \u201cThey will be setting a precedent that may come into play if Republicans are in charge of the House come 2023.
