Rep. Adam Kinzinger said 'it’s possible' some of his GOP colleagues in Congress are responsible for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and that the committee investigating the insurrection is not ruling out issuing subpoenas for sitting members of Congress.
Jonathan Karl interviews Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., on"This Week."Rep. Adam Kinzinger said Sunday"it’s possible" some of his GOP colleagues in Congress are responsible for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol but added he's not ready to"go to that point" yet, because he wants to"let the facts dictate it."
Kinzinger and Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on Tuesday night joined Democrats in the House in voting to hold Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, in contempt of Congress. Meadows defied a subpoena to appear for a deposition before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. During debate on the House floor before the vote, Cheney emphasized the importance of Meadows' testimony."Mr. Meadows' testimony will bear on another key question before this committee. Did Donald Trump through action or inaction corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress' official proceedings to count electoral votes?" Cheney said.
"I think investigating that possibility, for sure," Kinzinger responded."Our committee is getting more information than law enforcement agencies and DOJ, because we’ve had the power and the ability to get that done."
