WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has told Democratic colleagues that she will create a new committee to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
That's according to a person familiar with her remarks who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss them.
Pelosi made the announcement at a private leadership meeting Tuesday.
The new committee comes after Senate Republicans blocked legislation that would form a bipartisan, independent commission to investigate the attack by former President Donald Trump’s supporters.
