House Votes to Create Jan. 6 Riot Commission

The House voted to create a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol despite opposition from GOP leaders who say it could be used as a political weapon ahead of the critical 2022 elections.

The measure, which passed 252-175 with substantial GOP support, calls for a 10-member panel appointed evenly by Republicans and Democrats, who would also share the power to issue subpoenas.

The commission would be tasked with examining the causes and responses to the event, which left several people dead and caused damage to the historic Capitol after hundreds of angry pro-Trump protesters were able to push past security and gain entry into the building.

While some of the protesters wandered around the building, others smashed doors and windows in angry pursuit of lawmakers who that day were voting to certify President Joe Biden’s election victory. (Read more from “House Votes to Create Jan. 6 Riot Commission” HERE)
