The subject of Trump's liability regarding the assault is key to the examination by the House select board.
Pressures had been intense among McCarthy and Trump on Jan. 6
McCarthy and Trump had a yelling match during a call during the Jan. 6 assault, where McCarthy begged Trump to pay heed that the agitators were Trump allies. Be that as it may, Trump answered, "Indeed, Kevin, I surmise these individuals are more unglued about the political decision than you are."
Days after the fact, McCarthy took to the House floor later to say Trump "bears liability" for his job in the assault. The break seemed it would remain — until McCarthy traveled to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida not long after the assault and showed up in a photograph with Trump, apparently repairing this quarrel between them.
The keep sets McCarthy in an intense situation with his party. Right after the news, he got blended surveys from his majority.
