Establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

Bill 117 H.Res. 503, also known as the Establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, was introduced in the US Congress to create a special committee to investigate the events surrounding the violent attack on the Capitol building on January 6th, 2021.

The bill outlines the purpose of the committee, which is to investigate and report on the facts and causes of the attack, including any incitement to violence or interference with the peaceful transfer of power. The committee is tasked with examining the security failures that allowed the attack to occur, as well as any coordination or planning that may have taken place leading up to the event.

The bill specifies that the committee will be composed of 13 members, with 5 appointed by the Speaker of the House and 8 appointed in consultation with the Minority Leader. The committee is given the authority to issue subpoenas for documents and testimony, and to hold hearings and gather evidence as necessary to complete its investigation. Overall, the purpose of Bill 117 H.Res. 503 is to provide a thorough and non-partisan investigation into the events of January 6th, in order to ensure accountability and prevent similar attacks on the Capitol in the future.
