Rep. Gerry Connolly says President Joe Biden should push ahead and create his own version of a January 6 commission to investigate a riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Democrats in Congress pushed for a commission to investigate what led to the riot, in a forum similar to a commission that probed September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, Arlington, and Pennsylvania.
