House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., has vowed to boot at least two Republicans off the Intelligence Committee should Democrats regain majority control following November’s elections, Axios reported Thursday.

Perry’s phone was seized by the FBI as part of the investigation into the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, and Jackson has faced allegations of workplace misconduct during his time as the White House physician for former President Donald Trump.
