House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) again said that a commission needs to be formed to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol incident.
Congressional talks on the commission stalled when Republicans rejected her proposal to create a commission with more Democrats than Republicans.
“We will be proceeding with a security supplemental shortly, prepared by the Appropriations Committee and the Committee on House Administration to address the physical structure and personnel needs,” Pelosi said in arguing the need for a commission.
“Compromise has been necessary; now, we must agree on the scope, composition and resources necessary to seek and find the truth,” Pelosi said. “It is my hope that we can reach agreement very soon. At the same time, Committees in the House and Senate have been holding and planning hearings, which will be a resource to the Commission.”
Previously, Pelosi and other Democrats pushed for a panel that would be modeled after the panel that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York City and Washington.
In February, Republicans objected to Pelosi’s proposal for the commission, which would create a panel of four Republicans and seven Democrats to “conduct an investigation of the relevant facts and circumstances relating to the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol.”
