House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to appoint a select committee to investigate the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, sources say
Pelosi announced Tuesday evening to the House's Steering and Policy Committee that she will create a select committee, the sources said. She told Democrats the January 6 inquiry will be a"pursuit of truth" investigation, according to one source who heard her remarks.
For several months after January 6, Pelosi pushed for an independent panel modeled after the 9/11 Commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack on the Capitol, in which rioters breached the building and forced lawmakers to evacuate in the midst of certifying Joe Biden's victory over Trump.
