House passes bill to create January 6 commission to the Senate
The House voted Wednesday to approve legislation to establish an independent commission that would investigate the violent insurrection on January 6 at the US Capitol. The final vote was 252-175, with 35 Republicans joining Democrats in supporting the legislation, which is significant considering GOP leadership and former president Donald Trump urged members to vote against the bill Tuesday night. The bill now moves to the Senate where it faces an uncertain fate as GOP resistance is growing. | | | | | | | | |
