Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., has been named vice chair of the House select committee investigating the events surrounding the Jan. 6 violence at the Capitol.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., chair of the committee, announced Thursday he had chosen Cheney for the position, Politico reported.

The news came a day after it was reported that House Freedom Caucus Leader Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., was sending a letter to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., calling for the removal of both Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., from the Republican Conference for their roles on the partisan committee.

Cheney, one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump in January, was ousted from her position as the No. 3 ranking House GOP member in May.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., named Cheney and Kinzinger to sit on the partisan committee – comprised of Democrats and anti-Trumpers.

McCarthy urged a boycott of the committee after Pelosi rejected two of his GOP picks — Reps. Jim Jordan, R- Ohio, and Jim Banks, R-Ind. — for the panel.
