McConnell says Jan. 6 committee's findings are
'something the public needs to know'.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
said Thursday that he looks forward to seeing
what the House select committee investigating
the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol finds in its probe.
“It was a horrendous event and I think what they are
seeking to find out is something the public needs to know,”
McConnell said in an interview with Spectrum News.
McConnell’s interest in the investigation is notable since he
had opposed the creation of a bipartisan Jan. 6 commission, calling the idea “slanted and unbalanced.”
The minority leader's comments are a stark contrast to those
of his GOP counterpart in the House, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who has denounced the committee’s work
as purely partisan.
Earlier this week, McConnell was pressed about
what he was hoping to learn from the Jan. 6 committee.
“Well, I’m like you. I read the reports every day.
And it’ll be interesting to see what they conclude.”
