Speaker Nancy Pelosi says 9/11-style commission will probe January 6 attack by Trump supporters on the US Capitol
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says an independent September 11-style commission will be established to look into the deadly riots that took place at the US Capitol.
Key points:
- Ms Pelosi says the commission will investigate the “domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex”
- Investigations into the riots are already planned, with Senate hearings scheduled later this month
- Donald Trump’s impeachment acquittal has not put the issue of his culpability over the riot to rest
Ms Pelosi said the commission would “investigate and report on the facts and causes relating to the January 6, 2021, domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex … and relating to the interference with the peaceful transfer of power.”
