House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Tuesday said he opposes a bipartisan agreement that was announced last week to create an independent commission with subpoena power to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

The GOP leader said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is not negotiating in good faith and is trying to politicize the commission.
