Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said on Tuesday that she would back a Democrat-led bill to establish an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Murkowski became the second Senate Republican to publicly say she would support the bill that has already passed the House. During the House vote, most Republicans voted against the measure, with only 35 Republicans crossing the aisle to approve the bill.
