A new congressional committee is being formed to continue reviewing the events and security response surrounding the January 6, 2021, Capitol incident. The initiative is set to be formalized this session, with plans currently being finalized.

According to committee organizers, the goal is to conduct a more comprehensive review of the circumstances leading up to and during the breach of the Capitol complex. The committee will be tasked with evaluating various levels of response and potential procedural shortcomings.

One proposed change under consideration includes structuring the committee as a “select committee,” which allows for more tailored oversight in terms of membership and investigative scope.

Leaders behind the effort say the committee will be fully funded and aim to revisit the findings and decisions of previous investigations. The committee is also expected to explore broader issues of preparedness and coordination among agencies responsible for protecting the Capitol.

Further details, including the committee’s full scope and leadership appointments, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
