HYDE-SMITH STATEMENT ON JAN. 6 COMMISSION PLAN
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), a member of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, today issued the following statement regarding her vote against proceeding to the National Commission to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol Complex Act (HR.3233):
“The shameful attack on our Capitol in January deserves to be investigated thoroughly, but this Democratic proposal would enable a politically-skewed exercise that I cannot support. There are, in fact, multiple bipartisan congressional investigations underway, including work by the Rules Committee. The Justice Department, FBI, and law enforcement are also actively pursuing the prosecution of those who broke the law as part of the January 6 riot. I support these ongoing activities and responsible efforts to improve security at the Capitol.”
