Politico: “Rep. John Katko (R-NY) has struck a deal with Democrats on a 9/11-type commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack, with the bipartisan legislation expected to come to the floor this week. But we are watching closely to see what the blowback will be from Donald Trump and his allies — and whether that falls on McCarthy. And if the former president does get involved, how will that impact the resolution?”
“While the GOP leader seemed to dismiss the deal on Friday, telling reporters he hadn’t seen the details and emphasizing his demand that any commission should also probe violence tied to racial unrest. But multiple sources tell our friends over at Playbook that Katko communicated back and forth about the details of the deal and Katko got most of what they wanted. Katko has also told Republicans there is some wiggle room with the language of the agreement, even if it doesn’t specifically mention violence related racial tensions. Democrats may not feel the same way.”
