Pelosi Rules Out Biden Creating January 6 Commission

Speaker Nancy Pelosi “is ruling out a presidential commission to study the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, telling House Democrats on Tuesday that having President Joe Biden appoint a panel is unworkable even after the Senate blocked an independent probe last week,” the Associated Press reports.

“Pelosi laid out possible next steps after Friday’s Senate vote… The first option is to give the Senate another chance to vote on the commission.”

“The other options involve the House investigating the attack, meaning the probes would be inherently partisan.”
