Pelosi proposes equal number of Democrats and Republicans for 1/6 commission in latest proposal
CBSN
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now proposing a new structure for a commission to study to the January 6 attack on the Capitol that would give Democrats and Republicans an equal number of commissioners, a source familiar with the draft told CBS News.
Pelosi informed her leadership team of the new proposal Monday evening, the source said, though a spokesperson for Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy confirmed again on Wednesday that Republicans have not yet received it. "Neither the Republican Leader nor his staff have been provided Speaker Pelosi's latest proposal, but hopefully the speaker has addressed our basic concerns of equal representation and subpoena authority," the spokesperson said.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
