Insurrection: What Comes Next After Senate Blocked Commission?
Newsy
Politicians are looking at what else they can do to look into the January 6 attack following the Senate's shutdown of a commission.
After Republicans in the Senate blocked the creation of a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, some are suggesting other alternatives. Among them...another vote in the Senate...or investigations launched by existing congressional committees... or a select group created by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Over the holiday weekend, Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia was among those calling on President Biden to form a *presidential commission. Some Republicans... led by Sen. Mitch McConnell... are afraid a commission would be used as a weapon by Democrats to hurt the GOP in the midterm elections…and they argue that there is already a Department of Justice investigation.More Related News
