Adam Kinzinger Delivers Bluntest Of Responses To Trump Threat Question
HuffPost
The GOP ex-lawmaker also slammed the Republican Party for being unified by just one thing.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) once again struck a defiant tone over the possibility that Donald Trump may seek to have him prosecuted over his work on the now-defunct House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection ― and whose findings accused Trump of plotting to reverse his 2020 election loss.
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. Cheney has dismissed the claims as “malicious and cowardly.”
Asked on CNN if he expected to “face similar attempts at criminal prosecution,” Kinzinger replied: “I don’t know. I mean, look. I’m not worried about it because obviously I didn’t do anything wrong, Liz didn’t do anything wrong.”
The yearslong critic of the returning POTUS added, “Constitutionally, there’s even a question even if something wrong was done, can the executive actually come after a legislator? But no, I’m not worried.”
