Speaking to CNN on Sunday, the Democrat responded to questions as to what would constitute a full investigation of that day.<\/p>\n<p>Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made the recent announcement of the members of the committee, seven Democrats and one Republican, who would lead the investigation of the January 6 event. Clyburn believes this pursuit of truth could lead the commission to compel President Trump to testify.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It is clear that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/January6th?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#January6th<\/a> was not simply an attack on a building, but on our very democracy: an attack on the peaceful transfer of power.&nbsp; It is imperative that we find the truth of that day and ensure that such an assault on our Capitol and Democracy cannot again happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bennie G.
