There will be no commission to investigate the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol for now.
A vote on proceeding to debate the commission was blocked in the Senate by Republicans, including senator Todd Young of Indiana.
The vote was 54 to 35.
Senator Mike Braun did not vote.
Braun said he has confidence in the investigations by the FBI, which have resulted in over 400 arrests, including the arrest this week of a man from southern Indiana, who was ID’d with the help of surveillance footage and a tip that he bragged about being there.
Braun said he believes the commission would “exploit this tragedy for political gain”.
