Adam Kinzinger Delivers Bluntest Of Responses To Trump Threat Question

Huff Post

The president-elect has in recent days focused his ire on Kinzinger’s committee colleague Liz Cheney, the Republican former Wyoming congresswoman, and claimed she “could be in a lot of trouble” after a House GOP probe alleged she broke federal laws during the probe.
