Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Sunday expressed optimism that Senate Democrats and Republicans could reach agreement on establishing a Jan. 6 commission so long as the House-passed bill undergoes several changes.

Collins told ABC’s “This Week” that she “strongly” backs the establishment of an independent commission to probe the events around the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, but her support is conditional on bipartisan staffing and a report issued no later than by the end of this year.
