Tim Heaphy, Former Lead Investigator for the January 6th Select Committee joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with reaction to Donald Trump's threats against former members of the January 6th Committee and what it means about how he will use the Justice Department in his second term.
This is an adapted excerpt from the Dec. 9 episode of 'Deadline: White House.' During an interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press,” Donald Trump was asked whether he intends to fire FBI Director Christoper Wray, a man the president-elect himself appointed during his first term. Trump responded by railing against Wray, telling Welker he was “unhappy with the things he done.
To that end, during the same interview, Trump made a threat against members of the Jan. 6 committee, telling Welker they should “go to jail.” Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who served on the committee then responded to that threat, told CNN he has “absolutely no worries” the president-elect will try to put him in jail. “First off, the executive branch can’t go after the legislative branch because we embarrassed him,” he said on Sunday. “That’s not a sin, that’s not against the law.
