DOJ investigating funneling of money to the White House — for a pardon: report

In a wide-ranging interview with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) addressed the attack on the U.S. Capitol, noting that it's the kind of visual of instability that American foe Vladimir Putin would enjoy.

"We learned a lot about our system of government over the last four years with a president who disdains democracy and, as you have said numerous times, has other agendas," Clinton said. "What they all are, I don't think we yet know. I hope historically we will find out who he's beholden to, who pulls his strings. I would love to see his phone records to see whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol. But we now know that not just him, but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy. Do you think we need a 9/11-type commission to investigate and report everything that they can pull together and explain what happened?"
