House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced Friday that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will be placed on the House Intelligence Committee for the duration of the impeachment inquiry.
Jordan, who currently serves as the top Republican on the Oversight and Reform Committee and is one of President Trump's most vocal defenders in the lower chamber, has played a leading role in the impeachment hearings held behind closed doors.
He will temporarily take Rep. Rick Crawford's (R-Ark.) place on the Intelligence panel as House Democrats ramp up their investigation into Trump's dealings with Ukraine and begin holding public hearings next week for their inquiry.
"Rick is an exemplary member of the House Intelligence Committee and fulfills his oversight responsibilities with a sense of seriousness, thoughtfulness, and dedication to our country," McCarthy said in a statement Friday.

Great move!!!!!
Terrific news.
Why aren’t we one step ahead of this crap instead of 2 steps behind?
Whoa nelly!
Pelosi has to approve of anyone added to the Intel Committee. It’s the only committee that has that requirement, a sign off by the Speaker.
Wazzup Nancy? You ain’t gonna get a Christmas card from Adam with that kind of leadership.
They have a new anonymous witness by the name of John Doe.
Jordan and Nunes at the same table....That’ll help.
Wow! Some pubes actually have the yarbles to step up and put a solid Conservative on a key committee? Can’t believe it! Gutless a$$hats.
I think I would want a pit bull like Jordan on the committee. Make Schiffy squirm!
