Lawmakers Approve Commission To Investigate Capitol Insurrection

The commission would be composed of five lawmakers from each party. They would have the power to issue subpoenas to gather key information.

Committee members in the House have approved a plan to form a commission to take a closer look at the January 6 insurrection. Not only will it investigate the siege, but it will also look at ways to prevent future breaches at the Capitol. It's similar to the 9/11 commission. It will have 10 commissioners, with five from each party, and it will have the power to issue subpoenas to gather key information.
