"With the exception of a brief reference to former President Trump's remarks at the ellipse, Senate Republicans insisted that the report exclude anything having to do with the cause of the insurrection," he said.
"If anything, the joint report by the Homeland Security and Rules committees has strengthened the argument for an independent commission on January 6."
