(CNN)House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is considering naming GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger to join the select committee investigating the deadly January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
During a news conference on Capitol Hill on Thursday morning, Pelosi said, "We'll see," when asked about the potential appointment.
"I mean, there are some members that would like to be on it," Pelosi added. "But, we'll see."

Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat who's been appointed chairman of the new committee, said Thursday that adding Kinzinger to the panel has been discussed with the speaker. Thompson said if Pelosi signs off, Kinzinger will be a "welcome addition."
