HuffPost
The House speaker is considering tapping a Republican to join her appointees to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) introduced legislation Monday to establish a select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. “January 6th was one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. It is imperative that we establish the truth of that day and ensure such an attack cannot again happen,” Pelosi said in a statement. “The Select Committee will investigate and report upon the facts and causes of the attack and report recommendations for preventing any future assault.” The committee, which will have subpoena power, will be comprised of 13 members: Pelosi will name eight, and the other five will be made after consultation with GOP leadership. The speaker is considering tapping a House Republican as one of her selections, although it’s unclear whom she would name. It’s also unclear who would chair the committee, a role also chosen by Pelosi.
