Adam Kinzinger Shares Why He Thinks Trump Threatened To Go After Jan. 6 Panel Members

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger on Thursday said the findings of the now-defunct House select committee tasked with investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, “embarrassed” President-elect Donald Trump, prompting his threat of retribution against its members. In an interview with CNN’s “The Source,” Kinzinger, one of the Republicans who sat on the Jan. 6 panel, said that, despite the outrage the president-elect showed toward its work, the committee served its function. It showed that he was completely complicit for 187 minutes while violence happened.” Kinzinger expressed indifference to Trump’s recent threat to jail some of the committee’s members, addressing the president-elect directly: “Sorry to embarrass you, Donald, but that’s what we were tasked with was the truth.” “You want to threaten to throw us in jail for that?” he asked. The person that intimidates me the least of anybody in this country is Donald Trump.” In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” broadcast Sunday, Trump falsely claimed that the panel “deleted and destroyed all the evidence” and suggested that some members of the committee “should go to jail.” In December 2022, the committee released its final report detailing Trump’s efforts to stay in power despite losing the 2020 election.
