Connolly Calls for Presidential Commission on Jan 6th Attack on US Capitol
Washington,
May 29, 2021
Congressman Gerry Connolly, Chairman of the House Government Operations subcommittee, released the following statement calling on President Biden to create a Presidential Commission to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol. “In light of the GOP’s cowardly filibuster of a bipartisan January 6th Commission, I urge President Biden to form and appoint a Presidential Commission to fully investigate the insurrection at the United States Capitol, to identify the individuals and organizations who plotted or were involved in those violent acts, and to make recommendations to prevent such an attack from ever recurring.” |
