Blunt Comments on January 6 Protest

Missouri U.S. Senator Roy Blunt maintains his opposition to starting a January 6 commission now.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has criticized America’s prosecution of a pro-Trump mob who attacked the U.S. Capitol in January. He says they are not looters or thieves, but they instead came with “political requests.” During a Meet the Press appearance, Missouri U.S. Senator Roy Blunt was asked if Putin’s comments make him reconsider his opposition to starting a January 6 commission.

Blunt says the report will be more than 100 pages with a significant number of recommendations. He says all of the recommendations could begin almost immediately.
