Pelosi Announces Select Committee to Investigate U.S. Capitol Insurrection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will create a select committee to investigate
the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob incited by
the former president and his allies. Pelosi moved to create the panel
four weeks after Senate Republicans, led by Minority Leader Mitch Mc
Connell, blocked a bill to create an independent bipartisan commission
on the Capitol insurrection.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "Again, January 6th was one of the darkest days in
our nation's history. I've said it now three times. It is imperative
that we establish the truth of that day and ensure that an attack of
that kind cannot happen and that we root out the causes of it all."
