U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made it official Thursday that she is creating a special committee to investigate the attack on the Capitol, saying it is "imperative that we seek the truth." The new committee comes after Republican senators blocked legislation that would have set up a bipartisan commission to investigate the attack. She said there is no fixed timeline for the committee, which will investigate and report on the facts and causes of the attack and make recommendations to prevent it from happening again. Supporters of then-president Donald Trump are seen scaling the west wall of the the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. After the attack, National Guard troops reinforced security around the U.S. Capitol ahead of expected protests leading up to Joe Biden's inauguration, seen here in this photo from Jan. 17, 2021.
