Michigan Democrats are urging the GOP-led Legislature to create a bipartisan, independent committee to investigate the role Michigan played in the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
House Democratic Leader Donna Lasinski and Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich introduced resolutions this week to call for the creation of a 12-member committee with subpoena power. Each party would appoint three members from the House and three members from the Senate.
At the end of the investigation, the commission would issue a report on its findings. The goal is to provide a full accounting of Michigans role in the insurrection.
Michigan played a unique role in setting the stage for that attack and attempted insurrection from serving as a dress rehearsal when an armed mob entered our state Capitol to state officials bringing false electors to Lansing in an attempt to undermine the results of a fair and free election, Lasinski, of Scio Township, said in a statement. The people of Michigan deserve answers and accountability for those involved.
