McConnell opposes Jan. 6 Capitol riot commission: 'Slanted and unbalanced'
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced his opposition Wednesday to a new bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, saying the current congressional and criminal investigations are enough.
The House is expected to vote later Wednesday on the creation of the Jan. 6 commission, which is to be modeled after the 9/11 bipartisan panel that investigated the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and made recommendations on how to prevent another attack. The commission proposal in the House is authored by Homeland Security Committee Chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Ranking Member John Katko, R-N.Y.More Related News
