Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), chairman of the House Government Operations subcommittee, has urged President Joe Biden to create an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.
The request comes one day after Senate Republicans blocked a Democrat-led measure that sought to create such a commission to examine the breach. Senators voted 54–35 on the House-approved bill, falling short of the 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster.
