“January 6th was an assault on our democracy and we have a duty to uncover the truth of that terrible day,” said Rep. Costa. “The Capitol has stood for centuries as a symbol of hope and freedom known around the world, and it is our responsibility to ensure its resilience. I am proud to support this Select Committee to defend our democracy and ensure that the Congress can continue its essential work For The People.”
The legislation will create a Select Committee charged with investigating and reporting upon the facts and causes, as well as making recommendations to prevent similar domestic terrorist attacks. This House-passed resolution does not require Senate approval or a Presidential signature to take effect.
