Senate Democrats Fast-Track a Bill to Create a Commission to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the Capitol
Senate Democrats are moving quickly to set up a vote on the House-passed bill to create a commission investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) finished the fast-track process for the bill, known as Rule 14, Thursday morning.
“I just moved to place the legislation for a commission on the floor under Rule 14, and it is my intention to bring the bipartisan legislation for the Jan. 6 commission up for a vote,” Schumer said from the floor.
“My Senate Republican colleagues must now ask themselves: Are they going to join us in pursuing the truth or are they going to cover for Donald Trump and his big lie?” he added.
