During an interview with USA Today on Tuesday, Pelosi said she would consider setting up a select committee to investigate the Capitol riot if Republicans won t budge on their demands for more seats and a narrowed scope for the 9/11-style body, underscoring Democrats desire to uncover more information about events leading up to the insurrection.
“The one thing among our members that is consistent is we must find the truth, she said. “It’s always an option. It’s not my preference in any way. My preference would be to have a commission.”

Pelosi in February proposed a commission that would investigate the events leading to Jan. 6, as well as matters relating to the interference with the peaceful transfer of power, including facts and causes relating to the preparedness and response of the United States Capitol Police and other Federal, State, and local law enforcement in the National Capitol Region.
