Pelosi reiterates call for commission to investigate January 6 insurrection

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reiterated her call for a commission to investigate the deadly attack at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, writing a letter to colleagues dated 100 days after the insurrection.

"On this 100th day, we are determined to seek the truth of January 6th.  To do so, we must have a January 6th Commission.  To that end, we have once again sent a proposal for such a Commission to the Republicans, modeled after the 9/11 Commission," Pelosi said, referring to the bipartisan, independent panel created in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Negotiations previously stalled when Republicans rejected Pelosi's proposal to impanel a commission with more Democrats than Republicans.
