WASHINGTON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - U.S. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said on Wednesday he will not cooperate with a request from the House committee investigating the 2021 attack on the Capitol that he testify before the panel.
"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," he said in a statement.
