- Bill intended to establish 9/11-style commission into 6 January riot
- Senate Republicans block passage of bill by using filibuster
Senate Republicans were poised on Thursday to kill an attempt by Democrats to establish a bipartisan commission to investigate the 6 January attack on the Capitol in which a pro-Trump mob ransacked the building in an attempt to disrupt the formalization of Joe Biden’s winning of the presidency.
The bill was intended to set up a 9/11-style commission that would examine its causes and impact and exactly who was involved.
