Pelosi calls for commission on Capitol riots

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she's working to establish a 9/11-style commission to investigate the deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol on January 6 as the Department of Homeland Security anticipates domestic terrorists to pose an increased threat to the government this year. CBS News senior White House and political correspondent Ed O'Keefe joins CBSN to discuss the commission and the priorities for the Biden administration now that former President Donald Trump's impeachment has concluded.

After Trump's acquittal, what comes next?

The Senate acquitted former President Trump of inciting the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Congress plans to turn its focus to the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief proposal, but there are calls for the formation of a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Capitol attack. CBS News' Debra Alfarone reports the latest from Capitol Hill, and Kim Wehle, a law professor at the University of Baltimore and the author of "How to Read the Constitution--and Why," joined "CBSN AM" to discuss the legal fallout from Mr. Trump's acquittal.

Mr. Trump was ultimately acquitted of a charge of "incitement of insurrection." CBS News political analyst Leslie Sanchez and former senior adviser to the Biden transition team Ashley Allison join CBSN to discuss the future of the Republican party and whether or not President Biden can rally bipartisan support for his $1.9 trillion Coronavirus relief package.

CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett reviews this week's historic trial, in which most Senate Republicans, including GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, chose to acquit Mr. Trump, even as McConnell excoriated him for election fraud lies and the violence that spread into the very halls of Congress.
