Dec. 22 (UPI) — The House select committee investigating the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has released its long-anticipated report.
The 845-page document comes days after the panel recommended four criminal charges against former President Donald Trump to the U.S. Justice Department for his alleged role in the events.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi penned a forward to the document in which she expressed her gratitude to Reps. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Liz Cheney, R-Wy., who led the bipartisan committee in its investigation.
“The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack has succeeded in bringing clarity and demonstrating with painstaking detail the fragility of our Democracy,” Pelosi said in her foreword.
“Above all, the work of the Select Committee underscores that our democratic institutions are only as strong as the commitment of those who are entrusted with their care.”
Pelosi added that the work of the committee serves as a “clarion call” to all Americans to “vigilantly guard our Democracy and to give our vote only to those dutiful in their defense of our Constitution.”
This is a developing story.
