Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
In a statement released from the group on Wednesday, caucus members demanded that Thompson be blocked from the committee overearlier this year that would terminate Secret Service protection for those who have been sentenced to prison after being convicted for a state or federal felony. Republicans condemned the proposal, accusing Thompson of seeking to deny protection to Trump.
As a result, Freedom Caucus members are not only demanding Thompson be blocked from the task force assigned to investigate the assassination attempt but also to be removed as the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee. The push against Thompson comes after the Mississippi Democrat introduced legislation that would bar Secret Service protection for convicted felons and would instead place that responsibility on prison authorities.
Instead, Thompson argued Republicans “are still upset” about the work Thompson completed on the Jan. 6 committee, of which he served as the chairman and led the investigation into the Capitol riot.
