Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer filed a cloture in the Senate that could allow a procedural vote by the end of this week.

I will bring the bill forward for a vote very soon. The prevailing view among Republicans seems to be that we should sweep the big lie in all of January 6 under the rug.

This is not -- what happened on January 6th is not a Democratic issue. It`s not a Republican issue. It is a patriotism issue. That vote should be unanimous.

We`re going to vote on the January 6 Commission in the Senate and the American people will see where every member stands on the side of truth or on the side of Donald Trump`s big lie.
