Gov. Asa Hutchinson on 2024: "Trump has disqualified himself"
CBSN
Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas continued to vocalize his support of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack. He told CBS Mornings that what the country witnessed on Jan. 6 was a threat to democracy and took former President Donald Trump to task.
"That was a threat to our institutions of government. And that's not the behavior we want to see in a responsible president. I think the question for the January 6th committee is, one, you get facts out to the public, which is important to know. Secondly, they're trying to make a case that there's criminal conduct on behalf of the president. I question whether they have made that case. I don't believe they have," Hutchinson said.
He said while the testimony is important, he isn't sure if there's enough evidence for the Department of Justice to indict Trump, but he was clear that he is not supporting the former president if he launches a 2024 reelection bid.
