WASHINGTON—United States Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) today opposed the creation of a January 6 Commission and released the following statement:
“January 6 was a terrible day, and from the start, I have condemned the violent actions of the mob who attacked our Capitol Building. But, nearly 450 people have been criminally charged, and multiple professional investigations are well underway, including by the Department of Justice, the Architect of the Capitol, and multiple congressional committees in both the House and Senate whose job is to investigate these matters. We need to let the investigation by law enforcement continue, not start a new one led by Nancy Pelosi.”
