 Neon Nettle

Romney is the first Republican to voice support for the bill


"Republican Sen. Mitt Romney said he would support the Democrat-led bill to create an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

"When asked by supporters if he would vote if Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer starts a debate on the House bill, Romney said he “would support the bill."

"Romney is the first Republican to voice support for the bill. His remarks come as Schumer vowed to bring the bill for a vote on the Senate floor.

"Schumer said in a statement on Twitter:" “I will bring to the Senate floor the legislation passed by the House to create an independent commission to investigate and report on the January 6th attack on the Capitol."
