House Republican Leader
Kevin McCarthy referred to a bipartisan proposal for a commission to investigate the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol as potentially counterproductive.
NBC News reports McCarthy issued a lengthy statement prior to the scheduled U.S. House vote on the measure in which he argued that multiple investigations into the insurrection already exist and instead wants the panel to investigate other instances of violence.
The bipartisan proposal was announced Friday (May 14) by Reps.
Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and
John Katko (R-N.Y.), the top Democrat and Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, who reached a deal to model guidelines for the panel after the 9/11 Commission.
