• The House Jan. 6 committee on Wednesday pushed back on former Vice President Pence after he described the panel as “partisan” during an interview with CBS that aired earlier in the day.
• Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the panel’s chair, and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who serves as vice chair, in a joint statement criticized Pence’s comments as “not accurate,” while praising his actions on Jan. 6.
• “The Select Committee has proceeded respectfully and responsibly in our engagement with Vice President Pence, so it is disappointing that he is misrepresenting the nature of our investigation while giving interviews to promote his new book,” Thompson and Cheney said.
