Former President Donald Trump on Thursday slammed the nearly three dozen House GOP lawmakers who voted in favor of establishing a commission to further investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The measure, which passed 252-175 on Wednesday with substantial GOP support, calls for a 10-member panel appointed evenly by Republicans and Democrats, which would also share the power to issue subpoenas in order to examine the causes and responses to the incident that left several dead or injured. A total of 35 Republicans voted in favor of the proposal, despite opposition from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
