Swalwell: McCarthy will regret taking my committee seat

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., will regret removing him and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., from the House Intelligence Committee and possibly removing Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

“But we will not be quiet. We’re not going away. I think he’ll regret giving all three of us more time on our hands,” Swalwell said.

Tuesday night, Speaker McCarthy officially informed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., that he is rejecting the appointments of Schiff and Swalwell.
