June 30 (UPI) — The House on Wednesday voted to approve the creation of a select committee to investigate the Jan.6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Lawmakers voted 222-190 to approve the commission proposed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., last week that will look further into the siege that sought to interrupt Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden ‘s 2020 presidential election win over former President Donald Trump. “We have a duty to the Constitution and to the American people to find the truth of Jan.5 and to ensure that such an assault on our Democracy can never happen again,” Pelosi said. “And rather than being frivolous with the facts, we are going to be prayerful and patriotic to honor the concerns of the American people by seeking and finding the truth to protect our country.
