Pelosi Announces a House Select Committee Will Investigate US Capitol Breach

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced
the select committee one month after the
U.S. Senate failed to pass legislation...
... that would have created a 9/11-type
commission to investigate
the Jan. 6 insurrection.
This morning, with great solemnity and sadness, I’m announcing that the House will be establishing a select committee on the Jan. 6 insurrection, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, (CA-D),
via 'The Washington Post'.
The House select committee will have
similar subpoena powers as the
commission would have had, .
and it will also publish a report on its findings.
The Senate-formed commission
would have been comprised
of a bipartisan group. .
The House select committee will likely be
at least perceived as partisan.
A Republican-led House select committee
was formed in 2012 to investigate
American deaths in Benghazi, Libya. .
House Minority Leader
Kevin McCarthy boasted
during the 2016 election that
the Benghazi investigation helped to
defeat Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
McCarthy voiced his opposition to the
Jan. 6 bipartisan Senate commission.
The Jan. 6 insurrection led to the
deaths of five people... .
... and the physical breach of the
U.S. Capitol by more than 800 supporters
of former President Donald Trump
