The top House Republican on Tuesday said he does not support the creation of a new commission to investigate the U.S. Capitol breach in January, saying the new panel could adversely affect ongoing criminal proceedings.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) also said funds have already been appropriated to conduct a comprehensive review of the operations of the Capitol Police, who were overwhelmed by the riot on Jan. 6. He also noted that nearly 450 arrests have been made in connection with the day’s events, which means criminal cases are well underway.
