Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Thursday that if Republicans in the Senate vote against the Jan. 6 commission bill that passed in the House this week, Democrats “are going to insist on getting answers one way or the other,” while speaking on CNN’s “The Situation Room.”
The National Commission to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol Complex Act, also known as HR 3233, is modeled after the investigation into the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The proposed measure would create in the legislative branch an independent, 10-member commission to investigate “relevant facts and circumstances relating to the attack on the Capitol,” and “evaluate the causes of and the lessons learned from this attack.”
