Members have to be appointed (and re-appointed) to committees for each new Congress. Democrats re-nominated Schiff to the Intelligence Committee and McCarthy blocked that appointment which he has the power to do for select committees.
Officially, he was not a member of the committee for the current session.
McCarthy made clear that Schitt was not eligible for the Intelligence Committee due to his long history of lying to Congress and the American people. Schitt poses a grave threat to the security of the nation.
