Pelosi announces plans for 9/11-style commission to examine Capitol riot

Calls to investigate attack followed Trump's acquittal in his second impeachment trial

Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, said on Monday that the US Congress will move to establish an outside, independent commission to review the facts and causes" related to the deadly 6 January insurrection at the US Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump in the waning days of his presidency.

Pelosi said in a letter to members of Congress that the commission would be modeled on a similar one convened after the 11 September 2001, terrorist attack on Washington and New York.
