Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) proposed commission to investigate the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, calling its composition “partisan by design.”
The Congress has yet to finalize the structure of the commission, which Pelosi said will be modeled after the one established by President George W. Bush to examine the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon. It is reported, however, that Democratic leaders had proposed a panel that would have seven members appointed by their party—including three picked by President Joe Biden with subpoena power—and four appointed by Republicans.
