GOP Rep. Scott Perry would not commit to recusing himself from a possible House panel to investigate the federal investigations into the 2021 insurrection, though he himself was linked to the probes of Jan. 6.

On Monday Republicans will vote to approve a package of rules governing the 118th House of Representatives that would establish a new panel to investigate what they call the "weaponization" of the federal government. The rules would also grant the special panel access to the same highly sensitive classified information provided only to the House Intelligence Committee.Perry has said he believes election security was compromised in 2020 -- despite no evidence of widespread fraud -- and was in touch with like-minded allies of Trump in the run up to the insurrection.
Those changes -- such as ensuring single-subject bills, making it easier to remove a sitting speaker and a focus on lowering spending -- are intended to decentralize power in the chamber to increase the public's representation, Perry argued. Perry declined to say whether McCarthy had promised to tie a debt ceiling increase to a balanced budget. But he said that "the American people are sick and tired of this endless debt increasing."
The protracted speakership battle in the House last week put a spotlight on the divisions in the Republican Party and raised questions about what McCarthy agreed to in order to win the gavel.Appearing alongside Perry on "This Week," McCarthy ally Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., told Stephanopoulos that he did not think McCarthy had shrunk his power, saying the rules changes would offer room for more debate.
