Federal law enforcement officials reportedly think “there was no grand scheme” behind the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill breach, but House investigators still appear convinced that there was a conspiracy involving individuals linked to former President Donald Trump.

Earlier this year, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) appointed Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) as chairman of the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack on the United States Capitol, to investigate “the facts and causes of the terrorist mob attack.”
