Despite opposition from Republican leaders, the House of Representatives on Wednesday passed legislation — the product of a bipartisan agreement between House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson and Ranking Member John Katko — to establish a commission that would investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.  Thirty-five Republicans, including Katko, joined with 217 Democrats to support the bill, which passed by a 252-175 vote.

Other GOP senators either oppose the bill or believe it should be amended.  Katko, R-Camillus, secured some concessions from Democrats before reaching an agreement with Thompson last week. The bill would establish a 10-member commission, with each party appointing five members. The Democratic proposal called for 11 members, with the majority party naming seven of the commissioner
