9/11-style commission to investigate the capitol insurrection. next stop is the senate where its future is very much uncertain. republican leader mitch mcconnell said a commission is not needed. he s against it. he s telling his members to reject it. 35 republicans in the house did break ranks. they defy their leader keving mccarthy who s been working furiously behind the scenes. before the vote, an anonymous letter written by a capitol police officer was sent to congressional offices. we want to read the full letter. quote, we members of the united states capitol police write this letter to express our profound disappointment comments from both chambers expressing no need for an investigation into the january 6th insurrection. the cp were subjected to hours and hours of physical trauma cha has led to mental anguish. if you look around the building doors are still broken and windows missing. it goes on. on january 6th where some officers serve third last day in a u.s. cap
