The Biden White House has agreed to release Trump-era presidential records to the House committee investigating the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill, even as former President Donald Trump reportedly moves to assert executive privilege over the documents.
Former advisor to Vice President Mike Pence Olivia Troye said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) appointing Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riots is akin to putting Osama Bin Laden’s lieutenant to investigate the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, declared Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the select committee tasked with investigating the January 6 Capitol riot would hold a hearing, so the Capitol Police officers who were “let down” by GOP House members had an opportunity to tell the American people what happened.
Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Friday on MSNBC’s “All In” that Republican lawmakers who do not support the probe into the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill were “hypocrites” if they claimed to have a pro-law-and-order agenda.
Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Democrats were “trying” to punish former President Donald Trump for alleged crimes with a commission to investigate the Capitol riot.
Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Republican lawmakers can “show a very small fraction of the courage that is shown every day by our troops to do the right thing for our country” by creating a bipartisan January 6 commission.
Thursday on “CNN Newsroom,” House Majority Whip James Clyburn (R-SC) said if the U.S. Senate failed to vote to create a so-called commission to investigate the January 6 incident, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) should consider empowering House committees or creating a select committee to investigate the incident.
Friday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) dismissed the merits of the January 6 Commission championed by Democrats and the media.
