Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who served on the House Select Committee on January 6, expressed his lack of concern regarding President-elect Donald Trump's recent comments suggesting that committee members should be jailed for their investigation into the 2021 Capitol insurrection. Kinzinger confidently stated that he is not worried about potential repercussions from the executive branch for the committee's actions.
During an interview on CNN's 'Inside Politics,' Kinzinger emphasized that the legislative branch cannot be targeted by the executive branch simply because they may have embarrassed the president-elect. He clarified that conducting investigations and seeking the truth is not a violation of the law.
Kinzinger highlighted that a significant number of individuals who provided testimony before the committee were members of Trump's own party. He suggested that Trump's displeasure with the committee stems from feeling embarrassed rather than any legitimate legal concerns.
Regarding Trump's threats of legal action against committee members, Kinzinger remained steadfast in his belief that there would be no repercussions. He confidently stated that he is not concerned about any potential actions that the president-elect may take against the committee.
