Urges GOP to reject "Democrat trap" of Jan 6 Commission

Ahead of the House vote on creating an independent commission to investigate the January 6 attack, Trump issued a statement pressuring Republicans to vote no. He called the proposed commission a "Democrat trap" and urged GOP lawmakers to "not approve" it, arguing it was "just more partisan unfairness." His opposition was instrumental in consolidating Republican resistance, leading to the bill's eventual death in the Senate.
