The House voted Wednesday for bipartisan legislation to create an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building to stop the congressional affirmation of President Biden’s win. All 217 Democrats backed the measure, and they were joined by 35 Republicans, who defied GOP leadership and former president Donald Trump, who opposed the bill.
