Senate Republicans Block A Plan For An Independent Commission On Jan. 6 Capitol Riot
The bipartisan measure, approved by the House, failed to win enough votes to overcome a GOP filibuster. The plan called for an independent body styled on the one that investigated the 9/11 attacks.

The final vote Friday was 54-35, but Republicans withheld the votes necessary to bring the bill up for debate. Just six GOP senators joined with the Democrats, leaving the measure short of the 60 votes needed to proceed.
The House approved the measure 252-175 last week with 35 Republicans joining all Democrats in support of the plan.
