NPR: The House Approves New Select Committee To Investigate The Jan. 6 Riot
After Senate Republicans blocked plans for an outside commission to investigate the Capitol attack, the House voted to create a special panel for a new investigation. It was a largely partisan vote.
Just two Republicans voted in favor of the select committee, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
As I have said before, we cannot let fear stop us from doing what is right. While I believe an independent bipartisan commission is the best approach, I voted today in support of establishing a Select Committee for January 6th–because the truth matters. https://t.co/MMCpP31eWp pic.twitter.com/ZnJxRCZYRI
