Schiff proposes coronavirus commission, with subpoena power, to probe pandemic response
By Brooke Singman | Fox News
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on Friday publicly proposed the establishment of a bipartisan commission, with subpoena power, to investigate the response to the coronavirus pandemic by the Trump administration and other levels of government.
Schiff, D-Calif., had floated empaneling a "9/11-style commission" to review the administration’s actions earlier this week, but began circulating a draft of legislation on Friday.
Schiff’s commission would include 10 lawmakers to examine the government’s preparedness in advance of the COVID-19 pandemic and the response to it -- and would provide recommendations to "improve our ability to respond to and recover from future outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics," his office said Friday.
The legislation, according to his office, “closely mirrors†the 9/11 Commission where members of Congress, experts and current and former officials reviewed the Bush administration’s handling and response.
