WASHINGTON (AP) — The nine members of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection find themselves on diverging political paths as each prepares for a defining moment in their careers as the series of public hearings begins. The panel came together last summer from various political backgrounds united in a mission to provide the most comprehensive report of the attack and former President Donald Trump’s role in it. But some committee members have decided to leave Congress after this year. A few are eyeing leadership posts. And one lawmaker is even pondering a 2024 presidential run.
