Resistance to January 6 commission grows among Senate Republicans
CNN
The fate of an independent commission to investigate the deadly January 6 attack on the US Capitol will soon rest in the hands of Senate Republicans, many of whom are already signaling they may block the bill from moving forward with arguments that a commission isn't necessary.
One top Senate Republican backtracked Tuesday from a prediction one day earlier that the commission proposal would pass in some form, while other senior Senate Republicans argued that the commission could get in the way of the investigations already underway into January 6 by the Justice Department and two Senate committees. The hesitation raises the prospect that Senate Republicans will vote against the creation of a panel evenly split between Republicans and Democrats to examine the circumstances surrounding the January 6 insurrection.More Related News
