Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he opposes the mostly Democratic-backed Jan. 6 Capitol breach commission announced by a group of lawmakers on the House Homeland Security Committee last week.
The independent commission, as envisioned by House members, would have the power to issue subpoenas. Some Republicans have said that the panel should also look at leftist riots and violence that erupted across the United States following the death of George Floyd last year.
