Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) conceded on certain aspects of her proposal to create a 9/11-style commission to look into the violent events that took place at the Capitol on January 6, but negotiations are still taking place as Republicans want the commission to investigate more political violence that occurred over the past year.
Earlier this week, CNN reported that Pelosi planned to change parts of her proposal for the commission. She decided to allow an even number of people on the independent panel — with equal parts Republican and Democrat. She also granted fair subpoena powers to both Democrats and Republicans, changing “the way subpoenas would be issued, requiring a joint decision by the chair and the vice chair or after a majority vote,” as reported later by NBC News. The original proposal would have given Democrats the ability to appoint 7 out of the 11 seats on the commission and given them unilateral subpoena power.
