House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the Congress “will establish an outside, independent commission to review the ‘facts and causes’ related to the deadly January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump in the waning days of his presidency,” The Guardian reports.
Pelosi said the commission would be modeled on a similar one convened after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on Washington and New York.
