Pelosi Signals Support for 9/11-Style Commission to Investigate Capitol Riot

https://www.politicususa.com/2021/04/14/pelosi-signals-support-for-9-11-style-commission-to-investigate-capitol-riot.html

"SNIP.....

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in an interview with USA Today she supports establishing a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Capitol riot of January 6 if Republicans don’t budge on their demands to narrow the scope of the investigation into the deadly attack.

“The one thing among our members that is consistent is – we must find the truth,” Pelosi said, pointing out that an investigation could be spearheaded by the standing committees of Congress or by a select committee like the one Republicans established in 2012 to investigate the attack in Benghazi.

It’s always an option,” she said. “It’s not my preference in any way. My preference would be to have a commission.” 

The riot, which kicked off after a mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters, spurred by his falsehoods about the election being fraudulent, stormed the United States Capitol in a bid to delay the electoral certification of President Joe Biden’s win. Five people died as a result of the attack, including a Capitol Police officer who later died of his injuries.
