WASHINGTON – The House is poised to vote on a 9/11-style commission on the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S.
Capitol, a first step toward creating an independent, bipartisan panel that would investigate the siege and try to prevent it from happening again.
While the measure is expected to be approved Wednesday by the House, a commission will likely be a more difficult sell in the Senate.
Republicans there are signaling that they will try to block — or at least slow down — the effort. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that he is “pushing the pause button” on the legislation to form the commission.
