House Speaker Nancy Pelosi To Lay Out January 6 Investigation Plans

Senate Republicans blocked an effort to form a bipartisan panel, saying there are already committees tasked with investigating the Capitol riot.

We'll soon learn more about Democrats' next steps to investigate the deadly Capitol insurrection. A spokesperson for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she'll announce whether to create a select House committee dedicated to the task this week but the spokesperson said she'd still prefer an independent commission. Last month, Senate Republicans blocked an effort to form a bipartisan panel and some Republicans have downplayed the severity of the attack.
