Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) urged fellow GOP senators to vote against the creation of a 9/11-style commission largely supported by Democrats that would investigate the origins of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
Speaking on the floor of the Senate on May 27, McConnell argued that the commission, which was approved in the House earlier this month, would create a partisan and slanted investigation against former President Donald Trump. The proposed commission, in its current form, would have the power to issue subpoenas.
