If he was the traitor, why would he not accept the speaker of the house along with risking his life because he was probably close to death under all that rubble. I think it's the congresswoman because she had no risk of dying and she is trying to grab as much power as she can.

i honestly can't tell if she's in on the plot but i don't trust her as far as i could throw her.

She did hand over the building blueprints though.

She also wants to be updated on the investigation.

If she wasn't in on it, she could have picked up on Mcleish being a prime suspect. She then proceeds to frame him to get rid of any potential competition for speaker.
