House Backs Creation of Commission on Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Former President Trump and GOP leaders urged Republicans to oppose the bill Video Analysis: How a Pro-Trump Mob Overran Capitol Police The Wall Street Journal analyzed hours of video and audio from the Capitol riot to better understand how a mob of thousands overran police and attacked the U.S. Capitol.

The medical examiner’s office said in April that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes after the Capitol attack.) By Lindsay Wise and Kristina Peterson Updated May 19, 2021 7:06 pm ET WASHINGTON—The House passed a bill Wednesday authorizing a bipartisan, independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 pro-Trump assault on the U.S. Capitol, but the proposal could stall in the Senate after GOP leaders in Congress and former President Donald Trump urged Republicans to reject it. For the second time in a week, House Republicans found themselves facing a contentious vote that Mr. Trump has framed as a test of their loyalty, even as the party tries to focus on more unifying topics: criticism of the Biden administration and winning next year’s midterm elections. The vote was 252 to 175. Thirty-five Republicans voted with Democrats to approve the commission, bucking their party leaders and Mr. Trump. The number was larger than many on the Hill expected. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) had declared his opposition to the House bill earlier Wednesday, joining House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) in dismissing the commission as unnecessary and unfair. Mr. McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor that after careful consideration, he had come to the conclusion that the House bill was a “slanted and unbalanced proposal.” He pointed to other investigations under way by law-enforcement officials and in Congress and said he sees no need for another.
