A lot to get to this hour with sara sidner, im kate bolduan with john berman. And the pictures of the smoke hanging over gaza that you can see on the left of the screen.

select picks after nancy pelosi rejected two of his republican choices. but pelosi vowed this morning that the investigation will continue. cnn s manu raju is on capitol hill with more. manu, what is the speaker going to do now? reporter: well she s still moving ahead. she does have eight members of the committee including one republican. she said she has a bipartisan quorum that one republican being liz cheney. the question now is whether she ll add an additional republican, someone who could potentially give more bipartisan credence to this select committee and there is talk about her potentially naming adam kinzinger. kinzinger refused to comment about when he would accept an appointment or whether he had any conversations about this. benny thompson said that kinzinger has been discussed and a welcome addition if he were to be named and melanie zanona is saying that the speak ser considering naming him. she said we ll see at the press
