Pelosi says House will move forward with January 6 investigations

Washington — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that House committees would continue their investigations into the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, after Senate Republicans blocked a bill last month to create a bipartisan, independent commission to probe the origins of the assault.

"We're disappointed that we could not get the bipartisan commission through the Senate," Pelosi told reporters after a meeting with House committee chairs with jurisdiction over investigations into the attack. She added that "we can't wait any longer" for the Senate to vote again on the commission bill. "Whether we have a commission today, tomorrow, the next day out of the Senate or not, the work of the committees will be very important in seeking what we are — getting the American people the truth," Pelosi said. She did not say whether she would specifically create a select committee to investigate the attack.
