Collins did not directly criticize the two House Republicans serving on the committee, Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., instead focusing her disapproval on Pelosi's decision to not seat two fellow Republicans who were nominated by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
"I respect both of them, but I do not think it was right for the speaker to decide which Republicans should be on the committee," Collins said.Kinzinger poured water on the idea of Trump himself testifying during an interview with ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday."If he has unique information, that's one thing, but I think there's a lot of people around him that knew some things," Kinzinger said of the former president.
Kinzinger, however, added that the committee may call on McCarthy, R-Calif., to testify because of his communications with Trump during the attack and knowledge of the former president's whereabouts and mental state.
