The mother of fallen Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick returned to the site of the Jan. 6 attack to lobby Senate Republicans to vote to establish a bipartisan, independent commission to investigate the assault she argues caused her son's death.
But leaving Johnson's office, Comstock, speaking for the group, said the senator"made clear that he does disagree with the commission."
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who has joined Republicans on other issues including his opposition to ending the filibuster, told ABC News Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott,"There’s no excuse for a Republican not to vote for this unless they don’t want the truth." Garza told Scott in an emotional moment that she simply can’t understand why Republicans won’t back a commission.
According to accounts from Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., Fanone called House Minority Leader McCarthy to discuss what happened to him on Jan. 6 and McCarthy refused to speak with Fanone. Fanone says he has called multiple times and at one point was hung up on.
