Jan. 6 committee hires former GOP congressman Denver Riggleman as senior staff member

Committee Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) announced Friday night that, along with Riggleman, the committee had also tapped Joe Maher, a principal deputy general counsel at the Department of Homeland Security, to join the group. Maher was recommended for the committee by Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), and Thompson said both men would provide “invaluable insight and expertise” during the investigation.
