Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended her proposal to create a Democratic-majority commission to examine the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, arguing it was necessary to ensure the panel focused on the rise in white supremacy and other forms of domestic terrorism.

“We are focused now on finding the truth,” the California Democrat told reporters in the Capitol Thursday. “We have a domestic terrorism challenge in this country. Domestic violence is taking more lives than international violence in this country and the biggest number since [the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing].”
