Republicans Block Investigation Into Deadly Capitol Riots
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
(Worthy News) – Senate Republicans have blocked creating a bipartisan panel to study the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol housing Congress.
The U.S. Senate vote was 54-35 — short of the 60 options needed to consider a House-passed bill to form a 10-member commission split between the two parties.
Republican senators said they believe the commission would be used against them politically. And former President Donald J. Trump had it called a “Democrat trap” and a political witch-hunt.
Hundreds were wounded in the January 6 clashes when rioters claiming to be Trump supporters stormed the halls of Congress.
The riots followed a protest against what Trump believed were rigged presidential elections.
